It’s not often that a 130-year-old show feels brand new and utterly original, but director Thom Southerland and team have achieved just that in the marvellously colourful interpretation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, The Mikado, currently playing at the Charing Cross Theatre.
A smattering of the production shots below.
Jacques Brel smoked a lot, sang a lot and left behind some memorably not anodyne songs.
They’re revisited in wonderfully Technicolor style by Gina Beck, Daniel Boys, David Burt and Eve Polycarpou in the new production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, now playing at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Production shots from “Grim” — a wonderfully fun new musical now playing at the Charing Cross Theatre.
The show tells the tale of the unlikely love affair between high school kids Grim (hobbies include swinging a scythe and collecting cloaks in every shade of black) and Cupid.
Ironically, about the last place you’d expect to take rehearsal shots would be on the stage of an actual theatre, least of all one as capacious as the Charing Cross.
So I got up to quite a bit of mischief doing everything I never normally get to do for the rehearsal photos of Dessa Rose, now open at Trafalgar Studios.
Those keen (and, if internet chatter’s to be believed, there are many of you) for a peek at the production images should check back in an hour.
I try to mix my blog up a bit for variety, so this post is something of a rarity: production shots from a production that’s still open and you can still go to see!
These shots are from the fantastic new musical Lost Boy, which floats the question of how Peter Pan and co would cope with adulthood and World War I.
Having debuted at the Finborough, the show’s on at the Charing Cross Theatre until 15 February and you can book tickets here.
