OK this is seriously cheesy but my mole tells me it is such good fun. The musical version of the hit movie Footloose the Musical has all the catchy song and dance and feel-good 80s look of the film version, with a great deal more energy and LIFE. It has a big-city-kid-meets-small-town storyline, and when my mole went, audience members join into every hit song with gusto, enjoying every minute.

Booking until September, this great Sondheim and Lapine Broadway musical is enhanced by some amazing staging and projected animation making this a really special production. George, a poor impressionist painter, captures the scenes in the park, young ladies, couples, and a passing dog. He sketches his lover, Dot, and the painting becomes a work of art in a gallery 100 years later admired by visitors and critics. But what happened to the lives of the characters in the painting

On my list to book for September is the musical Girls Night. It’s a musical comedy, written by Louise Roche (Where the Heart is) following five friends as they review their pasts on a karaoke night out. There’s Carol, the party animal, Anita who is direct, Liza with “problems” and Kate who is boring but is the driver. Lucy Speed from EastEnders and Gwyneth Strong from Only fools and Horses head the cast.

Avenue Q appears to be a particularly salubrious New York streets, and is about as far away from Park Avenue as you can get, but it is home to some lively, humorous and strange characters performed by both people and puppets says the advance blurb !
