The producers of the upcoming Wicked UK tour have announced casting for the tour which starts at the Bristol Hippodrome on 31 January 2018.
You will be hard pressed to see a better production of this musical. The casting of Grey Gardens is near perfect. Southwark Playhouse is building a strong reputation for presenting wonderful modern musicals and like some of their previous productions this one is sure to sell out so don’t miss it.
To mark the anniversary of 9/11, cast members from the musical American Idiot have recorded a cover of Green Day’s When September Ends. This emotional rendition of the song is performed by Alexis Gerred, Aaron Sidwell and Steve Rushton. The story of American Idiot, expanded from that of the concept album, centers on three disaffected young men post 9/11, Johnny, Will, and Tunny. Johnny and Tunny flee a stifling suburban lifestyle and parental restrictions, while Will stays home to work out his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend, Heather. American Idiot is currently running at the Arts Theatre until 22nd November 2015
American Idiot is a bit of a frustrating production; whilst the music of Green Day has plenty to offer a musical, it doesn’t seem right for a sung-through stage adaption. However, whatever it lacks in plot and characterisation, it more than makes up for in energy, passion and pure good fun.
