REVIEW: Big Fish, The Other Palace ✭✭✭✭✭
You would be a hard-hearted soul not to shed a tear (as I did) by the end of this musical based on Grammer’s performance.

West End stars have been announced for a festival of musical theatre at The Other Palace in London, headlined by the premiere of a new show co-written by Burt Bacharach.
A wonderful cast of 13 actor-musicians transports us into their marvellously pleasant interpretation of the movie.
Last night Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Lloyd Webber addressed an audience of industry figures, new writers and musical theatre fans to talk about their careers and musical theatre in general. The evening hosted by Paul Taylor Mills at The Other Palace is to be the first of a series of evenings curated by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It’s an eye-opening discussion from a pair of musical theatre geeks who just love everything about what they do. Take a moment to enjoy this wonderful conversation if you are a lover of musical theatre.
Overall, Whisper House is an interesting experiment, a novel departure from the ‘norms’ of musical theatre. If it doesn’t quite fulfill its ambitions, well, that’s not the worse thing in the world, is it?
