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 !

Evita, one of the world's greatest musicals, returns to London's West End after 21 years. Directed by the award-winning Michael Grandage and featuring lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Evita tells the story of the fabulous Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine dictator Juan Perón. It follows her life as Argentina's most charismatics and powerful figure, against a backdrop of political unrest, until her tragic death of cancer in 1952.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s musical is based on the 60’s film which starred Hayley Mills. Somewhat bizarrely though the original story was set in Sussex, Lloyd Webber has moved the setting to America’s Bible belt. However the story stays the same

Notable mainly for featuring David Soul (ex Starsky and Hutch for oldsters) in one of the lead roles, together with Janie Lee – this was originally at the Watermill theatre and is at the Criterion until mid July or so.
