Eastward Ho! (1981-07-Mermaid Theatre-London)
Type de série: OriginalThéâtre: Mermaid Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 1 mois 1 semaine Nombre : 65 représentationsPremière Preview : InconnuPremière : Tuesday 07 July 1981Dernière : Saturday 15 August 1981Mise en scène : Robert Chetwynd • Chorégraphie : Charles Augins • Producteur : Avec : Richard O’Brien (Quicksilver), Paul Whitman (Golding), Prue Clarke (Mildred), Anita Dobson (Gertrude), Philip Sayer (Sir Petronel Flash), Mark Rylance, Vivienne Ross, Susan Beagley, Belinda Sinclair, Hugh FutcherCommentaires : This was a musical version of the Ben Jonson/George Chapman play set in the City of London and alongside the Thames in the 17th Century . With its almost formulaic pattern to earlier Mermaid musicals - lying, cheating, fornicating, stealing to the strains of loud music and over-the-top performances - this was a flop. It was the first show in the newly rebuilt Mermaid following major re-development, and sadly was the beginning of a downward turn in the Mermaid’s fortunes.

Fix (The) (1997-05-Donmar Warehouse-London)
Type de série: Original LondonThéâtre: Donmar Warehouse (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 1 mois Nombre : Première Preview : Thursday 24 April 1997Première : Monday 12 May 1997Dernière : Saturday 14 June 1997Mise en scène : Sam Mendes • Chorégraphie : Charles Augins • Producteur : Avec : John Barrowman (Cal Chandler), Kathryn Evans (Violet Chandler), Philip Quast (Grahame Chandler), Krysten Cummings (Tina), David Firth, David Bardsley, Bogdan Kominowski, Mark Frendo, Gael Johnson, Christina Fry.Commentaires : Cameron Mackintosh was happy to subsidise this new and very different piece of political satire with its rock music/vaudeville/country and western score, but was allegedly furious at the dismissive critical reaction, claiming London critics were too blinkered to accept anything new and progressive. The critics considered it comic-strip melodrama, with its Kennedy-esque satire grossly overdone and so full of cynicism that not one single character could involve the audience’s sympathy or interest. However, there was praise for the music and lyrics, and some suggestions that Dempsey and Rowe could be future talents to watch.

> 1998 Laurence Olivier Award nomination: Best Actor in a Musical (John Barrowman)
> 1998 Laurence Olivier Award nomination: Best New Musical (The Fix)Presse : BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE of THE TIMES is in the same mind as me saying, “The Fix lacks wit, imagination and plausibility. “
NICHOLAS DE JONGH of THE EVENING STANDARD is more scathing, describing the musical as , “..a roughly knocked-up show”, he then goes on to say “ The Fix doesn’t fit. The Donmar really ought to cut down on musicals.”
PETER HEPPLE of THE STAGE liked the first act but described the second act as taking “a downward plunge” and goes on to say that the score descends into “ pompous and ponderous rockism, which carries unfortunate memories of seventies rock musicals..”
CHARLES SPENCER of THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, he says “ No amount of fixing is going to fix The Fix. But you'll probably need one afterwards.”
