News: West End Debut for UK’s Favourite Burlesque Show

 UNVEILED – WEST END DEBUT AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE FOR AN EVENING OF BURLESQUE


See It For Yourself on 10th October! 

A scintillating night out of sparkling entertainment, the UK’s longest-running Burlesque show is back touring the nation, and it’s bigger than ever.

The producers of An Evening of Burlesque describe the show as “a good old-fashioned variety show that blends stylish cabaret, circus and burlesque,” and its UK tour comes to town in the coming weeks.

“It’s time to ‘roll up, roll up’ for an extravaganza of glitz and glamour,” says James Taylor or Entertainers, the same theatre production company that has brought smash hits The Magic of Motown, Lost in Music, Fastlove, The Rocket Man and Thank You to the Music to the stage over the past 20 years.

James says that An Evening of Burlesque has experienced a huge resurgence in popularity following the pandemic.

“I think the country as a whole needs a night out where they can leave all their worries at the door and come and laugh, sing along, and generally have a really great time – and An Evening of Burlesque just so happens to fit that bill perfectly.

“An Evening of Burlesque takes its roots from the art form that was hugely popular during Victorian times, which poked fun at the classics.”

The production bills itself as the variety show for the 21st Century.

“Expect an extravaganza of glitz and glamour featuring feathers and fabulous costumes but, most of all, fun,” promises James. “The production is back on tour, and, this year, it’s bigger than ever.”

An Evening of Burlesque promises to light up theatregoers’ senses, featuring “world-class entertainers and stars of the stage and screen”.

“It picks from the finest selection of specialty artistes, cabaret and circus stars, comedians, and champagne showgirls,” says James. “How many shows can boast all of that in one evening?”

Ticket purchasers are advised to expect the unexpected when An Evening of Burlesque comes to town, and the clock strikes “cocktails and cabaret o’clock”.

Review: REBECCA at The Charing Cross Theatre, London

Image
  Tickets: Gifted Date: 18th September 2023 Seat: G3 Rating: 3 Stars From the first chilling note to the final fiery scene, Rebecca is an all-out melodrama, complete with sinister plots, a soaring score, and characters that wouldn’t look out of place in a panto – but that’s all part of its charm. It’s an over-the-top, entirely gorgeous piece of outlandish theatre, and I absolutely loved it. Although, that’s not to say there aren’t a few issues.  One of the biggest problems with Rebecca is that something seems to have been a little lost in translation. The story still makes sense (although perhaps knowing the Daphne du Maurier novel or the 1940 Hitchcock adaptation with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine does help with that), but some of the lyrics just seem too on the nose, or just not clever enough to be memorable. Perhaps the original German gives a different feeling, but in English, there are a few moments that get lost and aren’t as strong as they might be.  Plus, this musical is

Review: BRONCO BILLY at The Charing Cross Theatre, London

Photo credit: The Other Richard Date: 31st January 2024 Seat: M6 (Stalls) Tickets: Gifted Rating: 3 Stars  Adapting older movies into musicals seems to be a trend these days, some with better results than others, and Bronco Billy , with a book by Dennis Hackin and music and lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres (with additional lyrics by Michele Brourman), is one of the better ones – if anything, it’s improved the film and made it a lot more enjoyable for everyone, which is something every audience member is sure to appreciate.  The main word that can be used to describe Bronco Billy is fun. It’s wild and wacky and loud and bright, and there are some wonderful characters and some lovely songs, but really when you leave, it’s the fun you’ve had that stays with you, and that’s no bad thing – if you’re feeling a bit down because January lasted for sixty billion months and you need a quick pick-me-up, Bronco Billy might just do the trick.  The story is about a travelling circus of mi

Review: SLEEPING BEAUTY at The Hawth, Crawley

Image
Date: 9th December 2023  Seat: L3 (Stalls) Tickets: Gifted Rating: 5 Stars  You can’t get much more classic than Sleeping Beauty when it comes to the annual panto, and at The Hawth in Crawley this year, it’s this story that takes centre stage – but don’t worry if you think you’ve seen it all before; there are some fantastic surprises in store, including some rather impressive prehistoric pets, fire performers, and plenty of musical theatre references throughout.  Why musical theatre? Because two of the panto’s stars are West End performers with some notable credits to their names – that’s Carrie Hope Fletcher (who plays Carrie-Bosse) from such shows as Les Miserables and Heathers , and Scott Paige (The Good Spirit Moonbeam), who’s starred in The Great British Bake Off Musical and The Addams Family . Add to that some wholesomeness from Andy Day, a CBeebies presenter every child (and parent) in the audience is sure to know, and you’ve got the ingredients for a fantastic show.  Fletcher
