Chicago closes at London’s Cambridge Theatre 27 Aug 2011 http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/londontheatre/news/my11/chicago20116066.htm Chicago, will close at the Cambridge Theatre on 27 Aug 2011, to make way for the RSC production of Matilda The Musical. The show may transfer to another West End venue: A press statement says, “We are hopeful that Chicago’s record breaking 14-year run in the West End will continue.”

(via Instapaper)

If Chicago does find another London West End theatre then it will be a good opportunity to give the show a well overdue makeover. Andy Roberts

Proof – review

http://theatrebreaks.co/511/proof-%E2%80%93-review/

Theatre review of Proof. New Vic, Newcastle-under-Lyme

This article titled “Proof – review” was written by Alfred Hickling, for The Guardian on Sunday 24th April 2011 16.44 UTC Two shows in, and already the New Vic’s repertory season is reaping the benefits of a permanent ensemble. Actors with relatively little to do in the Rivals now appear in David Auburn’s intellectual teaser about madness and mathematics. Auburn’s 1998 drama was inspired by a passage from the memoir of the mathematician GH Hardy, who observed that “in a good proof there is a high degree of unexpectedness, combined with inevitability and economy”. Hardy was writing about hard sums, though he might have made an astute drama critic. Catherine’s college career has been interrupted by the necessity of caring for her late father, a burned-out professor of calculus whose genius became a torment. An eager grad student is now scouring the professor’s notebooks for any lingering flashes of insight. Among the gibberish is what seems to be one final, perfect proof. Only it doesn’t appear to be the professor who has written it. If there’s a flaw in Auburn’s reasoning, it’s that it simply becomes impossible to believe that the calculation can fulfil claims to be the theoretical link that will bind all branches of mathematics together. But Gwenda Hughes’s quiet, meditative production draws performances of impressive depth from Michael Hugo as Hal the endearing geek, and Emma Noakes as the troubled Catherine, clearly haunted by the possibility that pursuing her father’s methods may lead towards his madness. Above all, it’s a chance to appreciate some fine acting in a complex, cerebral play that might be difficult to programme in isolation. There’s life in the old repertory system yet, and here’s Proof.

Aspects of Love Comes to the Mernier

http://theatrebreaksinlondon.co.uk/64/aspects-of-love-comes-to-the-mernier/

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspects Of Love, which will be directed by Trevor Nunn at the Menier Chocolate Factory, will feature a cast led by Michael Arden and Katherine Kingsley.The run starts on 14 July, following on from the new musical Paradise Found. The Story of Aspects of Love Lovers Alex Dillingham and Rose Vibert play out a love story that spans 20 years and three generations. Aspects Of Love is based on David Garnet’s novel. We follow student Alex as he travels through France and watch him fall in love with the beautiful actress, Rose. They start a passionate affair, Alex’s uncle arrives changes their lives forever. The Cast and Creatives of Aspects of Love Director Trevor Nunn return to the Menier Chocolate Factory for the first time since his successful revival of Sondheim’s A Little Night Music last year. Having someone as prestigious as Nunn at the Mernier only further confirms the theatre’s status as the place to try out revivals and new shows before West End transfers. Nunn directed the original production of Aspects Of Love and collaborated with Lloyd Webber on the original stage version in 1979. Arden, an American, makes his West End stage debut in Aspects Of Love. However he’s already well known on Broadway having stared in Big River and The Times They Are A-Changing. However I’m sure most of his UK fans will know him from cult series Grey’s Anatomy. Katherine Kingsley is currently in the UK touring production of The 39 Steps.She’s probably best known for her performance in the Donmar Warehouse production of Piaf which saw her nominated for an Olivier Award. The Music of Aspects of Love The music of the show is classic Lloyd Webber, with many themes you’ll recognise,including the iconic “Love Changes Everything”

As the original production ran for over 1,000 performances this just might be another hit for the Mernier, following on from other successes like A Little Night Music and Sweet Charity.
