How it looks in daylight, at night time, in various different sets of clothes and, of course, undressed. Now, open your eyes and compare your fantasy with your own body. Unless your name is Narcissus, the chances are there will be some differences between dream body and real body. All of us get upset with our bodies about something. Too short, too tall, too slim, too fat, etc and this is the message that is at the heart of  Boys in the Buff – The Concert  which is enjoying a limited run at the King’s Head Theatre. Boys in the Buff – The Concert  isn’t a play or anything sensible like that. Instead , it is a really fun evening of entertainment, song, dance and jokes all hosted by the wonderful Miss Diana Diamonte (Shani Cantor) who, with the help of her boys – Phil ...

https://www.londontheatre1.com/news/166066/thriller-live-is-an-artistic-and-energetic-celebration-of-michael-jacksons-work/ Thriller Live Celebrations – Lead singer Dajiow On the 25th June 2009, the world lost an icon. Now, that word is used a lot but what does it mean? Well according to the internet, an icon is “a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration” and although the word is used a lot, in this particular case, as we mention the death of American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, actor, and philanthropist Michael Jackson, it is definitely apt. When he died, he left behind a huge backlog of some of the best music ever produced and in  Thriller Live  at London’s  Lyric Theatre  you can have the chance to experience them in a way that would make Michael proud. Although advertised as a musical,  Thriller Live  is not a traditional show in that respect. It is more of a wonderful concert taking the au...

5 Star Review for Jest End, everything a theatre lover could want

http://www.lastminutetheatretickets.com/londonwestend/jest-end-review-waterloo-east-theatre/ If you are a fan of musical theatre, then seeing a show on the  West End  is your holy grail. Unfortunately, it is not a cheap hobby and with some top ticket prices over one hundred pounds, catching all of the top shows may be more of an aspiration than a possibility for many people. However, there is an answer. Simply nippity pop along to the Waterloo East Theatre where the talented team from  Jest End  are back in residence and ready to run you through virtually every show you could really hope to see – including a couple that haven’t made into town yet. So, how to describe this two-hour romp through the world of the musicals? I could take the easy way out and just say that it’s awesome but that would actually be understating just how good it is. The four-strong cast – Jemma Alexander, Adam Bailey, Bronte Barbe and Daniel Buckley – perform twenty-nine numbers whos...

https://www.londontheatre1.com/news/151577/london-musical-theatre-orchestra-state-fair-review/ As most people who have ever met me know, I am a bit of a musical fan. In fact, it turns out my superfan status was under threat as I had never seen Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical  State Fair . However, thanks to the London Musical Theatre Orchestra and a visit to Cadogan Hall, I was able to remedy this terrible state of affairs. The Frake family are all getting ready to go to the Iowa State Fair. Well, not only go but in the case of Melissa (Wendi Peters) and Abel (Clive Carter), they are hoping to win big at the fair with their mincemeat and pig – Blue Boy – respectively Also going to the fair are their children Wayne (Oliver Savile) and Margy (Celinde Schoenmaker) who are planning to have a rip-roaring time at the fair. Margy though has more on her mind than fun as she has promised childhood friend/sweetheart Harry (Matthew Pennington) that she will give him an answer to his ma...
