Chicago - New Roxy announced
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/chicago-new-roxy-announced.html
Michelle Williams is Chicago’s new Roxy New Chicago star Michelle Williams Michelle Williams (ex-Destiny’s Child) is to make her West End stage debut starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago. The US singer will appear at London’s Cambridge Theatre from July 13 until August 22. Michelle first made her name with Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland in Destiny’s Child. She released a solo album in 2002. She made her stage debut in the title role in the musical Aida on Broadway . She has also played Shug Avery in the musical of The Color Purple, in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Michelle got very good reviews for her performance in the tour and I think it bodes very well for her time in Chicago. Here she is at the 2006 Tony’s with the rest of the cast. (BTW doesn’t this sound like a great musical. I’d love to see it come here!)

Les Miserables - new cast member
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/les-miserables-new-cast-member.html
Antony Hansen, who is only 19, has landed the part of Feuilly and will understudy the leading role of Marius in Les Misérables from June 22nd 2009. Antony who comes from Steventon, near Didcot, is best known for his appearances in the BBC1 show Any Dream Will Do back in 2007. Although he was knocked out in the final live shows Anthony was not disheartened and has continued to pursue his dream of performing in the West End. Antony said in an interview in his local paper “The last two years have been a bit of a blur — from first auditioning for Any Dream Will Do, through to achieving my dream of appearing in London’s West End in my greatest musical of all time is just mind-blowing. “Two years ago, I was at St Birinus School studying for my A-Levels and appearing in the school’s production of Les Misérables. “Now I will be moving to London for 12 months to appear in Les Misérables, in the West End. You have to just go for it and become the best you can.” After Any Dream Will Do, he joined the UK tour of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat in January last year as Napthali, moving to the lead role for the last 3 months of the tour. I must do a round up post of where the other singers from Any Dream Will Do are soon as many of them have done very well, though few as well as Anthony as yet.

Legally Blond Cast Announced.
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/legally-blond-cast-announced.html
Legally Blonde - the musical
Legally Blonde is finally making its way onto the west End after over a year of rumours and uncertainty. Legally Blonde Cast List The cast will include SHERIDAN SMITH - (Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps) will play college sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods As Yet Unannounced - her co-star Bruiser the Chihuahua DUNCAN JAMES (Chicago,and member of Blue)will play Warner, who dumps her for someone with a brain. ALEX GAUMOND -(Guys and Dolls, We Will Rock You)will play Emmett College sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods is a spoilt Californian blonde who isn’t used to the N word (No). Her bored self righteous boyfriend, Warner, dumps her, supposedly for “someone serious”. Elle decides to fight back, figuring that money and looks can buy her whatever she desires. She gets out the credit card, discovers that she can just sort of hit the books, and that will get her to Harvard Law School! It’s a fairy tale for the Paris Hilton generation. It’s all about anyone being able to achieve intellectually and I know (with my educator’s hat on) I probably ought to approve of that. Sadly I fear it really says “Ha, clever! I could do that if I was bothered. It’s nothing special cos you can’t just decide to be blond and pretty!” Do I sound bitter? LOL It’s just not aimed at me I suppose! Based on the movie of the same name, Legally Blonde the Musical is a Broadway hit. It was created by a top creative team, led by Tony Award-winning director and Olivier nominated choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray). Legally Blonde - the video The tag line - The verdict .This much fun shouldn’t be legal! says it all really. A little piece of pink froth to hopefully amuse and entertain. I just can’t resist this youtube of the first act in under 5 minutes - enjoy!

London Theatre Breaks in Spring And Summer
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/london-theatre-breaks-in-spring-and-summer.html
Springtime London Theatre Breaks I love London in the springtime when I can spend more time outdoors, like along the river banks or in the parks. You would love it here also if you came for a London theatre break in April May or June.
It’s true that many activities in the great city of London generally transcends seasonality but not everything. A river trip on one of the pleasure boats on a day when you can sit out on deck without wrapping up in weatherpoof coats and hats for example is a quite different experience to the wintertime. Inside the London theatres it’s nice because people aren’t at all encumbered with heavy coats and can walk straight past the cloakroom. This makes interval easier too. Then when the show has reached its grand climax and the cast have taken their last bows, when you exit onto the London streets it’s still nice enough for a stroll around around theatreland and there may even be a tiny bit of dusky daylight left before night breaks. London Theatre Breaks in High Summer In the high summer months of July and August, London Theatre Breaks are all about escapism. Some of the local Londoners will have escaped too, but the city is far from deserted. Be prepared to meet crocodiles of Italian teenagers on English language breaks, and people from the far north of the UK for whom anywhere further south of England would be simply too hot at this time of year. London has become very much more of an outdoor city in recent years, with continental style pavement terraces outside nearly every restaurant, cafe or pub that can find the tiniest bit of space on the street. The coolest place though, is always by the river and if you are in the West End vicinity near the theatres you can always nip down by the embankment to catch the maritime atmosphere and refreshing breezes. Walk over the pedestrian bridges to see what the Thames looks like from right n the middle - that’s always a romantic thing to do when the banks are lit up at night.
Top Shows for London Theatre Breaks in Spring and Summer These are just suggestions of course, you’ll want to go and see whichever show you’ve been hankering after but for couples there is always an element of negotiation involved when deciding which musical or play is to be the centrepiece of a long awaited London theatre break.
Priscilla Queen of The Desert - This is the new show in the prestigious Palace Theatre where Spamalot and Les Miserables used to be. It’s not a new production though, it’s been running for years in Australia and the music is full of 1970’s dance hits We Will Rock You - still great and still turning theatre audiences into a rock concert crowd each night and packing them in. But there are persistent rumours of the show reaching the end of its natural run so definitely worth seeing now or also worth seeing again. Hairspray - As Billy Conley takes over from Michael Ball as Edna, Hairspray demonstrates this is a great musical whose popularity has legs. Dirty Dancing and Grease - Two shows that are both about the summer with all that means for youthful love.
