Boulevard of Broken Dreams

So how do you shoot hip-hop choreography?  By drinking two litres of water the moment you get home, as it happens.

Shots from the London School of Musical Theatre’s phenomenal and utterly anarchic take on Green Day’s American Idiot at the Bridewell Theatre.

Note that if you’re intending to see it there’s only tonight and tomorrow night left of the run.

Spend Spend Spend

Bringing the London School of Musical Theatre’s 2014 stay at the Bridewell Theatre in the City to a close, Spend Spend Spend tells the story of Viv Nicholson.

Nicholson, notoriously, won big on the pools with her husband in the 60s and announced that she was going to “spend, spend, spend”.

Given that she has a whole (highly entertaining) musical dedicated to her travels from rags to riches and back again, it’ll come as no surprise to learn she was true to her word.  And then some.

God is not a plastic surgeon

I seem to have been shooting a lot of musicals lately.

This is good for me because shooting a musical is a bit like going to the gym.  This is less good for my shoes because shooting a musical is a bit like going to the gym in inappropriate footwear.

Shots from the London School of Musical Theatre’s first show of its two-show 2014 season at the Bridewell Theatre, Violet.  If you want to see it (and you should; it’s very good), the run ends tomorrow night.

Violet tells the tale of a disfigured girl who takes a bus ride to meet a faith healer whom she hopes will heal her scars, and who learns that other things are rather more important on the way.
