Presse: "There are times when the action is suspended while Stoppard heaves information at us, especially about Marxist theory or Lenin’s famous train journey to Russia, but this remains an enduring, life-enhancing play that brims with intellectual gaiety." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Marber’s ace production revels in the play’s riotous plenty – though with rigorous discipline and no hint of a cast enjoying themselves more than the public. A travesty of justice if it does not transfer to the West End." Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Tom Hollander is hilarious in this mind-bogglingly entertaining Stoppard revival." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph

Commentaire: Smash-hit company Fiasco Theater bring their critically acclaimed reinvention of Into the Woods to the West End. Following a hugely successful premiere in New York, the US theatre group earned rave reviews for their imaginative take on the well-known musical. (plus)
Presse: "Misgivings melted away under the double-glare of both the company’s talent and tenacity and this 30-year-old musical’s innate capacity to enchant." Dominic Maxwell for The Telegraph
"The production manages to be joyously ingenious and teasingly incongruous without seeming too pleased with itself. " Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Fiasco’s inventive, vigorous version of Stephen Sondheim’s modern fairytale doesn’t entirely mask the problems of James Lapine’s convoluted book." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"But above all — and aptly for a musical that ultimately celebrates working together — this is an ingenious ensemble show. “Careful the wish you make,” they warn as they leave. Indeed." Sarah Hemming for The Financial Times

Commentaire: L'annonce du West End Transfert de cette version de "Funny Girl" a été faite avant même que ne commencent les représentations au Menier Chocolate Factory, dont les 3 mois de réprésentations ont été Sold Out en prévente, en moins de 2 heures!!! L'effet Sheridan Smith? Ce sera en tous cas son retour au Savoy Theatre quelques années après son triomphe dans "Legally Blonde"… (plus)
Presse: Les critiques sont très bonnes:
"What marks [Sheridan] Smith out is her ability to suggest sky’s-the-limit enthusiasm and an earthbound quality; we can believe that, as well as seeking applause and approval, above all Fanny needs love." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"The show rests squarely on the shoulders of Sheridan Smith, who suggests that, as with Shakespeare’s Beatrice, a star danced at her nativity." Micheal Billington for The Guardian
"It is rare for such a transfer to be announced even before the show has opened but that’s Sheridan Smith’s box office appeal for you. And she deserves it, for she is all heart, this lady." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"Early on, Fanny boasts that she has 36 expressions — better than all her theatrical rivals combined — but the elfin Smith has plenty more. Her voice is satisfyingly confident, yet what really distinguishes her is the searching, precise way she uses her eyes." Rob Dex for The Evening Standard

Commentaire: This is the world premiere of Anthony Horowitz ’s new comedy. Anthony is a hugely successful and prolific writer. He is the author of over 40 books including the best-selling Alex Rider series, the recent Sherlock Holmes novels, The House of Silk and Moriarty and the forthcoming James Bond novel Trigger Mortis.

Lindsay Posner returns to the Chocolate Factory having previously directed Communicating Doors and Abigail’s Party. He recently directed the revival of Hay Fever currently running at the Duke of York’s. (plus)
Presse: "A part of me admires Horowitz...for boldly using a popular form to make political points. But he never quite marries the two."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Steven Berkoff brings a strange gravitas to Saddam Hussein but the comedy and the seriousness drown each other out in this production."

As it is, it resembles a deluxe species of theatrical wall-paper, ornamented for one night only by the unforgettable appearance of a man whose music will live on long after all of us." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"This is no routine jukebox musical but a genuine reappraisal of the venerable Burt." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"We repeatedly feel the joy, tenderness and melancholy of Bacharach’s art and are treated to an exhibition of skilful musicianship." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Commentaire:
Presse: "Amid a terrific ensemble, Catherine Tate adds welcome levity as the spaced-out Sara Jane Moore...The diminutive Andy Nyman twinkles with mischief as the irrepressible Guiteau...and as Samuel Byck...Mike McShane strikes the perfect anti-festive note of crabby, scary discontent, a quite unforgettable sight in his soiled Santa outfit." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"This revival, played without an interval, is fleet, but Sondheim’s revue format can feel scrappy, and necessarily often lacks depth; not all characters convince or are fully explored. But this is crackling production is certainly more hit than miss." Holly Williams for The Independent
"In Lloyd’s interpretation, on a set by Soutra Gilmour that resembles the fairground in a horror film, it feels thrilling." Henry Hitchings for the Evening Standard
"Jamie Parker sings soulfully as the Balladeer; Aaron Tveit makes an indignant, composed Booth. This being the Menier, the show is staged with elan and the music is tightly played." Quentin Letts for the Daily Mail

Commentaire: This was a love-it-or-hate-it revival. It was completely re-thought as a present-day video game, played by a present-day Pippin, with the Leading Player “guiding” him through the various “levels”: family, violence, orgiastic sex, religious quest, ordinary life and a grim suicidal interlude. Set in an adolescent boy’s bedroom, it is filled with elaborate projections, light displays, neon laser beams and hi-tech visual trickery. It was also very, very loud! After the first month the role of Berthe was played by a series of performers, Caroline Quentin, Gay Soper, Josie Lawrence and then back to Louise Gold for the last two weeks. It previewed from November 22 nd, and collected strongly polarised notices: “Up Allegory Creek without a paddle. . . excruciatingly fey” (Times), “staggeringly incoherent” (Financial Times), “ a bold, radical revival with a certain dizzying appeal” (Time Out) (plus)

Commentaire: Performed with a seven-piece band and projected scenery, this was presented as a chamber musical and for many critics, the show was vastly improved by being reduced in this way. The original run was advertised to September 26 th , but the show closed two weeks earlier than this. No explanation was offered. (plus)

Commentaire: Based on Joseph Roth’s 1939 novel “The Tale of the 1002 nd Night”, “Paradise Found” was directed by Broadway showbiz-royalty, and included some of the greatest Broadway talents in the cast. Its London fringe debut was planned as a cheaper way of launching a try-out workshop prior to Broadway. It was a much anticipated and eagerly awaited “big” event. But that event turned out to be a huge flop, “an absolute stinker”. (plus)

Commentaire: This was yet another in the sequence of scaled-down musicals at the Menier Chocolate Factory which received excellent notices and would go on to future life in the West End itself. The show was notable for the excellent performance by Tamzin Outhwaite (best known for playing Mel in “Eastenders”). It was also the first to have the same actor, Mark Umbers, play all three of Charity’s love interests. The show transferred to the Theatre Royal Haymarket on May 4 th (previews from April 23 rd ) and ran for six months, closing on November 6 th. (plus)

Parolier: Stephen Sondheim •

Avec: Hannah Waddingham (Desirée), Alexander Hanson (Frederik) , Maureen Lipman (Mme Armfeldt), Gabriel Vick (Henrik), Kaisa Hammarlund (Petra), Alistair Robins (Count Malcolm), Kelly Price (Charlotte), Jessie Buckley (Anne), Holly Hallam/Grace Link (Fredrika)
Commentaire: This critically acclaimed production earned special praise for the Lady Bracknell type performance from Maureen Lipman, but above all for Hannah Waddingham’s outstanding portrayal. The role of Desirée had earlier been played by older actresses with the consequent ageing of all the other characters around her. The original Desirée should have been no more than 40, with a 14 year old daughter – and this was ideal casting for Hannah Waddingham and added new depth to the story. Including previews, the London production gave some 226 performances.

Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "On transfer to the West End, A Little Night Music leaves me far less than enraptured."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Delicious production...an evening of refined enchantment."
SAM MARLOWE for THE TIMES says, "While at its finest Nunn’s production has needle-sharp poignancy, the comedy that accompanies the pain is sometimes too broad...It’s not a rendering that never puts a foot wrong; but when it’s in step with Sondheim’s masterly music it’s sheer elegance."
CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "I found myself almost continually entranced...It's a fine production of a musical that only misses greatness by a whisker."

Commentaire: A number of critics felt it was also seriously miscast, with Connie Fisher (in her first stage outing after her Maria in “The Sound of Music”) using her pure and beautiful soprano voice on a score which was “flavourless, soft-pop, flaccid sub-disco” (Independent), and with Alistair McGowan looking far too strapping and healthy to be “kvetching about therapy and neurosis.” (plus)

Compositeur: David Shire •
Parolier: Richard Jr Maltby •
Libettiste: John Weidman •
Metteur en scène: Sam Buntrock •
Chorégraphe:

Commentaire: Maltby and Shire decided to have the premiere of their new musical at the Menier Chocolate Factory where it was greeted respectfully but without any great enthusiasm. The surreal elements, such as the cast sitting on top of stepladders and operating imaginary joysticks, tended to work against any true involvement with the characters and their dreams. However, with its period-feel songs and clever lyrics, it was generally considered a worthy, if not too exciting, effort. In a revised version, it had its American premiere in New Jersey in April 2010, again directed by Sam Buntrock. (plus)

Commentaire: This revival was a critical and commercial success and transferred to the Duke of York’s Theatre in March for a three month run, with one change of cast - Alistair McGowan replacing Jasper Britton. The show then transferred to the Ambassadors, where it ran for a farther three months, finally ending on September 8th, 2007.
Sheridan Smith, Alistair McGowan and the show itself were all nominated
for Olivier Awards. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Now, in the West End, Matthew White's production strikes many witless, dull and gross notes." MADDY COSTA for THE GUARDIAN says, "A charming production...Little Shop is kooky, irresistibly feel-good and deserves to run and run." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "I can't see how anyone could fail to have a good time at Matthew White's exuberant show." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Everyone who saw Matthew White’s Horrors revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory last November seems to have enjoyed it, and, though transfer has clearly deprived it of intimacy, everyone should enjoy it now that it is following the same theatre’s Sunday in the Park with George into the West End."

Chorégraphe:
Avec: Daniel Evans (George), Anna Jane Casey (Dot), Gay Soper, Joanne Redman, Simon Green, Liza Sadovy, Alasdair Harvey, Christopher Colley, Sarah French Ellis, Kaisa Hammarlund, Mark McKerracher
Commentaire: Fifteen years after its coolly received National Theatre premiere, this fringe production had almost all the critics reaching for their superlatives. With a small cast, a five-piece band and its ambitious production techniques and computer graphics, this show was visually and technically breathtaking. And with the brilliant central performances from Daniel Evans, Anna Jane Casey and Gay Soper it was hailed as unforgettable, with several critics deciding it was a Sondheim masterpiece.
Its major achievement seems to be welding the two separate acts together – earlier critics had claimed this was two separate shows, with no real link between the 1880s Paris of Seurat and the 1980s USA of his (fictional) grandson. The production transferred to Wyndhams Theatre in May 2006 and ran until September 2nd . It had the same principal cast, except Jenna Russell replaced Anna Jane Casey who was unavailable. It won five Olivier Awards, including Outstanding Musical Production, Best Actor in a Musical and Best Actress in a Musical. The production was re-created for a limited engagement on Broadway between January and June 2008, again with Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Entrancing production ...enchanted evening that raises the status of the musical high." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "A masterpiece, one of the most daring, thrilling and, more surprisingly, moving musicals you are ever likely to encounter." SAM MARLOWE for THE TIMES says, "Exquisite production...the production is close to perfection"
