Katharine McPhee will make her West End debut starring as Jenna in the UK premiere of Waitress, having played the role on Broadway earlier this year. The Tony Award-nominated musical will begin preview performances on 8 February ahead of its official opening night on 7 March at London’s Adelphi Theatre. Currently playing its third year on Broadway, Waitress will bring with it an all-female lead creative team – a West End musical first.

Since finding international fame as a captivating singer on American Idol – Season 5, Katharine has become a successful recording artist, landing numerous songs and albums on Billboard’s pop, jazz, holiday and adult-contemporary charts in her native US. Her latest album of timeless American standards “I Fall In Love Too Easily” was released by BMG in 2017. As an acclaimed actress, she was the breakout star of the 2013 NBC-TV musical series Smash, Executive Produced by Steven Spielberg with music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). She recently starred in the hit CBS dramatic series Scorpion.

Waitress opened on 24 April 2016 at Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theater. Based on the 2007 motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly, Waitress was the first Broadway musical in history to have four women in the four top creative team spots, with a book by Jessie Nelson, a score by six-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, choreography by Lorin Latarro and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus. The production is currently touring the US and has also recently announced it will have its Australian premiere in 2020 at the Sydney Lyric Theatre.

Waitress tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie maker in a small town, who dreams of a way out of her loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a new life, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes to happiness. But Jenna must find the courage and strength within herself to rebuild her life. This American musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the magic of a well-made pie.

On its Broadway opening, Waitress was nominated for four Outer Critics’ Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical; two Drama League Award Nominations, including Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical; six Drama Desk Nominations, including Outstanding Musical; and four Tony Award Nominations, including Best Musical.

Waitress is produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and Norton and Elayne Herrick.

Based on a TV show, now a theatrical tour de force, Cilla the Musical tells the tale of dear departed, national treasure Cilla Black.

Cilla (or Cyril as John Lennon lovingly calls her) dreams of singing, her parents Big Cilla (Jayne Ashley) and John (Neil McDonald) are proud of the fact she works in an office and try to dissuade her from a showbiz life.  But her friends Pat (Billie Hardy) and Pauline (Gemma Broderick) and her boyfriend Bobby Willis know she has what it takes to be a massive star.

Her big break comes when Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles hears her singing.  Her first audition for him a disaster, her second see’s her signed and on her way to Abbey Road and to the top.

Kara Lily Hayworth, who was chosen from thousands of hopefuls, is magnificent as Cilla.  Her rendition of Anyone Who Had a Heart at the end of the first act was show stoppingly beautiful.  Her growing relationship with Bobby (Alexander Patmore) which became a long and happy marriage, and her fight to be famous with Epstein (Andrew Lancel) whilst feeling second fiddle to the Beatles

There is poignancy when the Beatles sing Hide Your Love Away – in essence about John hiding his wife and son from the fans, but when Epstein sings hauntingly along you realise that he was hiding his sexuality, so not to commit an offence.

There is a strong narrative throughout, telling a true story with some wonderfully rousing music and vocals with a live band on and musicians off stage led by Scott Alder: clothes that accentuate the nostalgia, an incredible and versatile set perfectly evoking the era and a talented ensemble make for a perfect balance of song and story line.  

This is the perfect night out, whether you a fan of Cilla, of the 60’s or just of good music.   Lovingly created by her good friends Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield, with input from her son Robert Willis – this is a production that has been created with a “lorra lorra” love for our Cilla

In Darlington until Saturday and on tour around the UK

SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE GOES NATIONAL WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF

NEW SITE AT BLENHEIM PALACE

TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR 2019 SUMMER OF SHAKESPEARE

York: 25 June – 1 September

Blenheim Palace: 8 July – 7 September

[21 November] Europe’s first ever pop-up Shakespearean Theatre – SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE – today announced its expansion for 2019 with a summer residency of 9 weeks at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. This follows last week’s announcement of a return to York, following its inaugural and highly successful season in 2018.  Both theatres will run simultaneously over summer next year, performing a total of eight Shakespeare plays.

SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE – a 13-sided Elizabethan-style playhouse, complete with an Elizabethan village – will be constructed over a three week period in the glorious grounds of ‘Britain’s Greatest Palace’ where it will run from 8 July until 7 September, whilst in York the theatre will return to the foot of 13^th century Clifford’s Tower, where it will open on 25 June and run until 1 September.

Originator of the project and CEO of international theatre company, Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, James Cundall, said “We had such a wonderful response from our 80,000 visitors in York over the summer and an overwhelming number of requests to return – so not only are we thrilled to be coming back to York in 2019, but our expansion to the magnificent grounds of Blenheim Palace will enable us to bring this unique immersive experience of Shakespeare to an even wider audience.

Preparations are now in full swing for eight Shakespeare plays, four companies of actors, two theatres and two Elizabethan villages.”

The new site at Blenheim Palace will enjoy one of the finest views in England, situated within the glorious grounds, adjacent to the 18^th century palace.  Coincidentally, it will be just yards from the historic Shakespeare’s Way, which bisects the Blenheim Palace Estate.

At both the York and Blenheim Palace sites, the Shakespearean theatres will be constructed using state-of-the-art scaffolding technology, corrugated iron and timber.  Inspired by the famous London Rose Playhouse built in 1587, 12 years prior to The Globe, SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE will house an audience of 900, with 560 seated on three tiered balconies around an open-roofed courtyard with standing room for 340 ‘groundlings’.

Both theatres will be located within a Shakespearean village, bringing an authentic Elizabethan ambience and theatricality to the event, including:

·        ‘wagon’ performances of Elizabethan-style entertainment, including comic mini-plays, speeches and mediaeval musicians

·        the best Yorkshire and Oxfordshire food and drinks, housed in oak-framed and reed-thatched buildings

·        and an Elizabethan garden, created by a leading Yorkshire garden designer, with ornate box-edged beds of vegetables, cottage flowers and herbs.

The plays have been selected from across the genres, offering something for everyone, and will be performed in repertory by two companies of actors based at each location.  The Blenheim Palace companies will be performing the repertoire of plays from the first season in York: Romeo & Juliet, Richard III, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth, while in York another four of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays will be performed: Hamlet, Henry V, The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

Dominic Hare, Chief Executive of Blenheim Palace, said “When I visited SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE in York over the summer I was absolutely blown away, not only by the quality of the whole event, even down to the vintage carts and wagons, but by the extraordinary experience of seeing Shakespeare performed in such an intimate setting.  It created the most astonishing connection between audience and actors, and produced some truly spine-tingling moments. 

“I immediately thought it would be the ideal summer event for Blenheim Palace, and am immensely excited at the prospect of bringing these outstanding Shakespeare productions, as well as the Elizabethan experience, to such a stunning setting. We believe that Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre will bring many more visitors to the area for everyone’s benefit as well as being a marvellous cultural experience for local people.”

The Blenheim Palace season will be co-presented by Raymond Gubbay Ltd, who have a wealth of experience promoting events and concerts worldwide, including the popular ‘Christmas at Blenheim Palace’ illuminated trail and Cinderella experience.

Anthony Findlay, Chief Executive of Raymond Gubbay Ltd, said “We have had the pleasure of working closely with Blenheim Palace for the past three years and have also enjoyed successful partnerships with Lunchbox Theatrical Productions on their touring shows. It’s hugely exciting that all three companies have now joined forces to bring this fabulous Shakespearean experience to the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace and the audiences of Oxfordshire and beyond.”

Full details of the creative team and cast for both SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE companies will be announced in due course.

SHAKESPEARE’S ROSE THEATRE and Shakespeare’s Village are produced by Yorkshire-based Lunchbox Theatrical Productions.   The Blenheim Palace season is presented in association with Raymond Gubbay Ltd and Blenheim Palace.

One of ITV’s most successful and easily recognisable shows has been brought to the stage for their UK tour, and what a holiday you will be treated to!

Following Sophie and Ben, a married couple who are shipped off to the Solana after their stay in Altea goes awry, we see their disgust and anger at the Solana Staff, headed up by Joyce Temple-Savage. Jaqueline, Mateo, Liam, Sam, Kenneth and cabaret singer Asa are still in the Solana but have been alerted of holiday inspectors posing as a disgusted couple who are out to close down the hotel for good. The staff believe Sophie and Ben to be the inspectors, so go out of their way to ensure their holiday is perfect. Ben, befriends Jacquline, an old swinger who is only out for one thing! Whilst he tries to enjoy his holiday, his wife is wooed by Mateo ( Jake Canuso) who tries to use his charm to ensure the hotel stays afloat.

Having seen many episodes of Benidorm, it was a treat to be able to see the original cast excel on stage, where the characters truly belong. Kenneth and Liam (Tony Maudsley and Adam Gillen) were stand out, bringing their already larger than life characters to a stage where they could enhance their performances and play off the audiences fantastic reactions! The skimpy hot pants and camp jokes were exactly what the audience wanted! Together with Janine Duvitski as Jaqueline, they made an astonishing amount of double entendres that would put a pantomime to shame! Sherrie Houston and Jake Canuso as Joyce Temple-Savage and Mateo made us laugh and tantalised our minds with Mateo‘s shirtless scenes, fancy flamenco dancing and suggestive costume!

Derren Litten has brought a super show to the stage, with an easy to follow storyline, dance, song, frivolity and fun! Asa Elliott as the Cabaret singer of Neptunes Bar treated us to his fabulous voice at varying points of the show and Shelley Longworth as holiday rep Sam Wood soared through the auditorium with her exceptional voice for a finale that will put the heat back into this freezing winter, take you to Benidorm and make you sing dance and smile along! Not to be missed!

On a cold wet night in the middle of November what could be better than being transported back to the summer of 1963? Answer, absolutely nothing, it is actually the best way to spend your evening.

Subtitled as “the classic love story on stage” the musical tells the story of Frances ‘ Baby’ Houseman (Kira Malou) as she spends a family holiday at the Kellermans resort where she meets Johnny Castle (Michael O’Reilly) and has the time of her life.

With a soundtrack of 60’s songs interwoven into the story the only song that is actually sung in the show is (I’ve had) The Time Of My Life which was sung by Katie Eccles and Alex Wheeler, the other songs appear as instrumentals or are played on records or the radio.

The scenery is impressive, setting the scene in the dining room, the dance room or the iconic lake scene where Baby and Johnny practise their lift.

Although Malou’s American accent can be annoying at times this is easily forgotten thanks in part to O’Reilly’s impressive abs and in one scene, his very pert bottom which generated a lot of cheers from the female members of the audience.

A special mention should be given to Simone Covele who plays Penny, her dancing and flexibility are jaw dropping and she really manages to get the audience to be sympathetic to what happens to her.

In all it is a wonderful night out featuring the iconic line “I carried a watermelon” and the line everyone knows and said with Johnny “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” which lead to cheers and applause from the audience. With the iconic lift at the end of the show the audience held its breath as O’Reilly picked up Malou and cheered when they were in the position everyone knows from Dirty Dancing.

Angry Alan
by Penelope Skinner
Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, London W1D 3NE
Tuesday 5th – Saturday 30th March 2019, 7pm

Following a smash-hit sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival, Penelope Skinner’s Fringe-First award winning play Angry Alan now transfers to Soho Theatre. This darkly comic play about masculinity in crisis is written and directed by multi-award-winning playwright Penelope Skinner (The Village Bike, Royal Court Theatre; Linda, Royal Court and Manhattan Theatre Club) and cocreated and performed by Donald Sage Mackay (True West, Vaudeville Theatre; Deep State, Fox TV; Linda, Manhattan Theatre Club).

Looking out over the country, this country, where I was born and raised, I wonder what’s going to become of us. Because this can’t be the future, can it? Everyone just… changing the rules?

Roger thinks the world’s gone mad. He hates his job, his ex-wife torments him and to top it all, his girlfriend just discovered feminism. Roger’s about to lose his shit. Until he discovers Angry Alan: online activist and ‘voice of reason’…

In 2016, in the wake of Trump’s election, Penelope Skinner was inspired to write a play about the anger which is dominating today’s political landscape. In doing so she stumbled across the Men’s Right’s Movement and, along with American actor Donald Sage Mackay, began creating Angry Alan, a story about Roger, an ordinary American man being radicalised online by an extremist movement. Angry Alan explores how any extreme political viewpoint can take root in
someone’s consciousness if they are vulnerable to it and how those who propagate such views may not be all that they seem.

Mackay is superb, and Skinner (who also directs) keeps it both simple and observant. She doesn’t seem to judge Roger at all – just to make us see more clearly the dangers of the kind of warped self-realisation he is encouraged by online forums to feel. It is a fierce, clear warning of what is going on, and it is utterly terrifying (What’s On Stage).

Angry Alan is a ruthlessly funny, timely and powerful play by one of the UK’s most significant feminist playwrights

Penelope Skinner and Donald Sage Mackay comment, We were delighted with the response to Angry Alan in Edinburgh and are so pleased to be coming to the Soho Theatre. Soho feels like the perfect home for this piece. And in this fraught and polarised political climate, we are grateful for the opportunity to keep telling this story.
