Fame is the legendary musical based on the New York School of Performing Arts (and it was, so I am told, the subject of a TV soap some time ago as well as an Oscar winning film).

There must be very few people who don’t know about Mary Poppins – the book and film have been around a long time, and the stage musical is as delightful as ever.

A musical with music by Ben Elton and Queen and featuring more than 30 Queen songs. Not a wonderful plot – underground rock in the globalised future, but with the advantage of some great Queen anthems in the second half. A must for Queen fans – and others who like some lively rock.

Billy Elliot the film becomes a musical with music by Sir Elton John.
One of Britain's most successful films ever gets a stage makeover with music added by legendary tunester Sir Elton John. Billy Elliot is a fusion of the excellent writing of Lee Hall, the wonderful choreography of Peter Darling and the superb directing of Stephen Daldry, all of whom transferred from the film.
