There is little doubt in my mind that both Michael Ball and Alfie Boe are kings when it comes to their interpretations of this type of material, that being said there is but one word for this album – Majestic!

Designed by Cecil Aubrey Massey and Roy Young, the Grade II listed Edwardian Theatre might be the only theatre to have included a Victorian-style Turkish bath in the basement. The New Wimbledon Theatre opened on 26 December 1910 with Jack and Jill, a traditional pantomime. The theatre most famously was home to the World Premieres of Lionel Bart’s Oliver! which then transferred to the Albery (now the Noel Coward) Theatre and Tommy Steele in Half A Sixpence prior to its West End transfer.

In January 2017, the first production of the Burt Bacharach / Hal David / Neil Simon Broadway musical Promises, Promises, the Tony-nominated and Grammy award-winning will be presented at Southwark Playhouse. Based on Billy Wilder’s film The Apartment, Promises, Promises tells the story of Chuck Baxter, a junior executive at a New York insurance company, where his mid-town residence makes him popular with the executives bosses – who promise him a promotion in order to “entertain” at his apartment. A morally tricky dilemma gets worse for Chuck when he realises his own secret crush, Fran Kubelik, has been invited over to his place for a rendezvous by Chuck’s Manager, JD Sheldrake. Featuring the hit songs Knowing When To Leave, Promises, Promises, I Say A Little Prayer For You, A House Is Not A Home and I’ll Never Fall In Love Again, Promises, Promises is a triumph of 1960’s sexual work-place … Read more
It has to be said: Marianne Benedict as Grizabella gives the best rendition of the infamous show tune that I have ever heard; with the climactic crescendo, her pipes burst with such raw integrity and the uninterrupted audience applause (which will undoubtedly be repeated at each performance) is whole-heartedly deserved.
