1889 - Actif
A côté d'Adrian Lester (Ira Aldridge) déjà annoncé, le cast sera constitué de: Ayesha Antoine (Connie), Simon Chandler (Bernard Warde/Terence), Alexander Cobb (Henry Forrester/Casimir), Mark Edel-Hunt (Charles Kean), Emun Elliott (Pierre Laporte), Charlotte Lucas (Ellen Tree), Caroline Martin (Halina Wozniak/Margaret Aldridge), Amy Morgan (Betty Lovell).
Behind the stalls bar there hangs a copy of probably the best-known portrait of the great 18th-century actor David Garrick, depicted by Thomas Gainsborough with a bust of Shakespeare. In the National Portrait Gallery, a stone's throw away to the south of the theatre, hangs a lesser-known work by Sir Joshua Reynolds. In the latter, Garrick, looking well-rounded and avuncular, sits in the garden of his country house by the Thames at Hampton with his devoted wife, Eva (née Violettl) whom he married in 1749 at the age of 32. However, to capture the elusive, multifaceted character of probably the greatest actor of his time, in whose honour the theatre was named, it is necessary to look to Louis-François Roubiliac's plaster bust, also In the keeping of the National Portrait Gallery. Here it is possible to glimpse the 'moving brow and penetrating eye' and to sense the 'shifting passions' born of the energy and versatility that marked Garrick out from his contemporaries.
The southern end of Charing Cross Road was created during the mid-1880s by widening what was then Castle Street, and by demolishing a considerable number of small buildings in order to achieve the sweep round the back of the National Gallery Into Trafalgar Square. A particularly large and dominating victim of the demolitions was St Martin’s Workhouse, which stood on the site now occupied by the National Portrait Gallery.
Always astute, it was W. S. Gilbert (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame) who, notwithstanding the irregular shape of the site, leased It from the Metropolitan Board of Works, commissioning architect Walter Emden to design a theatre for actor-manager John Hare. It appears to have been Emden who was responsible for the basic layout of the building, but, possibly as a result of his recent successful work on the equally irregular Lyric Theatre site in Shaftesbury Avenue, it was C. J. Phipps who was brought in to ‘run the job’.
The auditorium is orientated north-south, and runs parallel to Charing Cross Road behind an articulated screen wall, the main entrance vestibule and foyer being at the northern end. Adjacent to the theatre entrance, now under a modern glazed canopy, is a wide, gated access, allowing the pit and gallery audience to queue away from the public thoroughfare. The Builder magazine, marking the opening of the theatre on 24 April 1889, remarked that Architectural art In the true sense seems to have been kept at a safe distance,’ but this was perhaps somewhat unfair; certainly the balanced, now partially painted, Bath stone façade set on a rusticated and channelled Portland-stone podium is an eclectic classical composition of considerable merit.
Above the main entrance is a Corinthian colonnade and open loggia now fronting the upper- circle bar, while the screen wall further south is enriched by piiastered semi-circular headed bays.
The auditorium, in a free Italian Renaissance style, retains most of its original features and is arranged on a 'U' plan. The decoration appears to adhere fairly closely to the original colours of cream and gold, with the accent on a generous amount of gold highlighting. The walls to the rear of the auditorium are hung in deep red, vertically striped paper, probably shades darker than would originally have been in place, but effective nevertheless. The quality of the decoration extends to the foyer, with Its Adamesque plasterwork, and to the upper-circle bar, likewise decorated in a mid-18th-century manner.
John Hare appeared with Forbes-Robertson in the theatre’s first production, Pinero's The Profligate, and went on to make regular appearances with considerable success. Following Hare’s retirement in 1896, the theatre came under the management of Harry Brickwell and then passed into the hands of Arthur Bourchier, who immortalized his name by refusing access to The Times' drama critic in 1903. In 1934 an attempt to revive music hall came to nothing, but the following year Love on the Dole, with Wendy Hiller, revived the theatre's fortunes. In the years after the Second World War many great theatrical names were associated with the Garrick, including Jack Buchanan, Beatrice Lillie, Laurence Olivier, Rita Tushlngham and Brian Rix.
Named after the great 18th-century actor David Garrick - 1889. Designed for W. S. Gilbert by Waiter Emden and C. J. Phipps - Statutorily Listed Historic Building: Grade II*.
Infos complémentaires:
The Stalls are divided strangely into three blocks, with two half aisles creating a lower back and right section. The rows fan out, starting with short rows, leading back to the wider auditorium. The section feels deep, and the rear stalls are distant from the action and heavily restricted. The best seats are in the front section, from row AA-L, as central as possible. There is a slight rake throughout meaning that views can be seen over the heads in front, but this is reduced towards the rear. The overhang from the Dress Circle occurs at row M and begins to immediately affect the view of those sat further back. The section feels very dark and overall restricted.
Pillars are the main problem in this section creating many restricted view seats. Pillars occur in the middle of Row S and Row N, creating many problems for those sat in the rear house right section. The pillars remain in constant view, although how much they restrict depends on the section. For a pillar free view, aim to sit as centrally as possible. From row M-X the central section is very narrow, and the action become framed by pillars towards the front. Choose side seats in rows AA-L before anything else further back. Legroom is very tight in this section with little room to shuffle past.
The Dress Circle is at ground level and accessible from the main foyer. All seats follow the rather deep curve of the balcony, meaning seats on the end of each row become restricted. The section is wider than it is deep and feels very close to the stage and the action. Avoid the last three seats of each row as these provide a side on view to the stage.
The overhang from the Upper Circle begins at row B, cutting off the top of the stage for the back three rows. This is often not too much of a restriction, and better than the view in the Stalls. Two pillars in the back row reduce the legroom of some seats, but do not affect the overall view. There is no safety rail running across the balcony, so no immediate obstructions from this section.
The Upper Circle is divided into two blocks by a wide central aisle. The seats are well raked and provide good view altogether of the space. The section does not feel particularly high and you do feel close to the stage.
The biggest restriction is again the curve of the balcony, as seats at the end of each row should be avoided as they do not provide a straight-on view of the stage. Boxes are again restricted as they look across the stage rather than directly at it.

Commentaire: Part of The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Season (plus)
Presse: "There’s a lot of collective weeping and wailing to establish the ominous mood, but also a swiftly counterpoised gaiety and coutured sophistication." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph
"The action is set in 1950s Verona, and it’s mucho, mucho Italiano: there’s a lot of clichéd “ciao”-ing and stereotype-trading matriarchal shouting. But it also proves an effective backdrop: there’s a whiff of Mafia machismo, a sense that la dolce vita is undercut with an ever-present threat of violence." Holly Williams for The Independent
"The whole thing is done with a speed and vigour that ensures we are never bored; and if I generally preferred the first half to the second, that is because Shakespeare’s tragedy itself depends too much on chance and the faulty Italian postal service." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Though it is stylish, accessible and illuminated by Lily James, it misses the passionate intensity of the tragedy." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Presse: "Wanamaker, who, in the monologue All On Her Own, brings a brilliant, layered depth to the role of the newly widowed woman who hits the whisky and pay dirt as she talks to the departed husband who may or may not have killed himself." Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Harlequinade: It’s hardly major Rattigan but it shows actors delightedly sending up a happily vanished theatrical world. All On Her Own: Wanamaker, sprawled over a sofa in humiliating self-abasement, performs the piece with a soul-baring virtuosity that transcends the material and confirms that the Branagh season is devoted to actors." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Harlequinade: Slight and appealingly silly piece. All On Her Own: [Zoë Wanamaker's] performance is at once fierce and melancholy — finely judged and genuinely sad." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

"Audacious and troubling, it is delivered with brilliant precision here. Tap-dancing through a number about the electric chair, harmonising in a spiritual that slips in a line about lynching, the cast perform with tremendous verve and handle Stroman’s choreography with split-second timing." Sarah Hemming for The Financial Times
"This is a hurtling journey into hell; I urge you to buy a ticket. John Kander and Fred Ebb’s 2010 musical, seen at the Young Vic last year, is a shocking experience — the more so because it is also irresistibly entertaining." Sam Marlowe for The Times
"The music is magnificent, a stirring, period-specific mixture of gospel, jazz and vaudeville. The plaintive lament Go Back Home is especially memorable, but on the whole the songs are jovial and up-tempo in a deliberate undercutting of the seriousness of the storyline." Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard

Commentaire:
Presse: " ... the drama’s neat, almost sentimental ending ... lingers in the mind long after the last curtain call."
Jane Shilling for Daily Telegraph
"... for all its high stakes and shouting matches, this is a nimble and frequently funny play."
Holly Williams for The Independent
"... gives a vivid impression of the way jurors allow their rooted prejudices and personal hang-ups to influence their verdict."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"No great surprises, but good stuff and well done."
Patrick Marmion for The Daily Mail
"... with writing this strong it’s a clear case of it ain’t broke so don’t fix it."
Simon Edge for The Daily Express
"The end result is a lot of rather forced pacing about the too-large playing area, which fatally dissipates the tension of confrontation."
Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard

Presse: "The plot is woolly, and the material seems like a mishmash of moments from every teen romantic comedy I’ve ever seen. But Bourne and Davis are undoubtedly skilful songwriters, and Loserville is likeable even if it’s unsubtle. "
Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"The songs, on a first hearing, all sound more or less the same and are pounded out with bludgeoning loudness in Steven Dexter's soulless production. The cast leap about hyper-actively but, apart from the odd sequence (such as a Judo match between the geeks and the jocks) there is not much charm in all this robotic freneticism."
Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Shows don't get much perkier than this...it carries the message of many an American teen movie - that the geeks will triumph in the end - but it's also knowing and sprinkled with humour which makes it rather endearing. "
Julie Carpenter for The Daily Express
"With its rudimentary plot and forgettable tunes, this musical is an unrewarding experience."
Ian Shuttleworth for The Financial Times
"As bubblegum musicals go, it's worth a pop."
Robert Shore for The Metro
"Steven Dexter’s cartoon-like production is relentlessly and brash and for much of the evening I found myself gazing longingly at the exit sign, desperate to escape this derivative pop-culture pap. The one thing that can be said in Loserville’s favour is that its off-putting title tells you all you need to know about the show."

Commentaire: This jukebox musical based on the songs of David Essex (plot is fictional, not autobiographical) began with a five month provincial tour and transferred to the West End in April 2010 for a limited season, ending September 2010. A second provincial tour ran from October 2011 to April 2012. (plus)
Presse: "Enjoyably scrappy, over-earnest but likeable new musical." Mark Shenton for The Stage
"It’s always cheering to see a lovable, daft musical in the West End and this compilation offering based around the greatest hits of Seventies pop star David Essex certainly fits the bill." Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard
"You often feel like humming harmlessly along." Benedict Nightingale for The Times
"Enjoyable production...This is a long way from being a great musical but with its mixture of seedy charm and sudden moments of menace and emotional pain, All the Fun of the Fair is well worth a spin." Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

Commentaire: Reprise de la version Litlle Night Music (A) (2008-11-Chocolate Factory-London)
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. This same production transferred to Broadway, officially opening on December 13 th 2009 with Angela Lansbury as Madame Armfeldt and, in her Broadway debut, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Desirée. (Catherine won the Tony Award for the Best Leading Actress in a Musical, and on the same weekend of the Tony Awards it was announced she had been awarded a CBE for her charity work.) The Broadway production closed temporarily on June 20, 2010 when the original contracts ran out, but reopened on July 13, with Bernadette Peters as Desirée and Elaine Stritch as Madame Armfeldt. When the production finally closed on January 9, 2011 it had played 425 performances (plus 20 previews). (plus)
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: It opened with a short try-out tour, but even so, its first London preview dates were cancelled due to technical problems. By the time of the official opening the show received almost entirely favourable reviews. Its flashy fight scenes, flying scenes, magical disappearances and camp tongue-in-cheek story was described as a “mix of Errol Flynn and Monty Python” making “an insanely enjoyable musical”. The flamenco dancing was a great hit. According to Quentin Letts in the Daily Mail “Blimey, the flamenco! There can’t have been this much foot-stamping since Elton John split from Bernie Taupin”. It ran until March 14 th 2009, and then proceeded to be performed in many different countries, winning many awards, and taking over $75 million dollars at the box office. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Dynamically choreographed musical...A truly highflying musical."
RHODA KOENIG for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Cynical corporate product."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Thoroughly enjoyable musical."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "It’s nonsense, but quite agreeable nonsense...Zorro is fun, but not as much fun as all that."
CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "this almost insanely enjoyable musical, with a fabulous score of stamping flamenco, tavern choruses and tender love songs by the Gipsy Kings, looks like the surprise hit of the summer."

Commentaire: This Spanish language production had run for more than a thousand performances in Spain and been seen by more than a million people. The starring role of Peter was played by Miguel Antelo, Spain’s most successful pop star. However, with the audience being asked to sing-along (in Spanish!) “Hay que creer in hadas” (“You have to believe in fairies”), and flying scenes conducted almost entirely in the dark, this London production was universally derided by the critics. The reaction to the show with its “dodgy surtitles” was summed up by Charles Spencer in the Daily Telegraph: “To die, Peter Pan famously declared, will be an awfully big adventure. I wouldn’t go that far myself, but it seems infinitely preferable to sitting through this dismal Spanish production. . . one of the most lamentable evenings I have ever endured in a West End Theatre.

Commentaire: It had opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2006, and was simply so outlandish, over-the-top, filled with parody songs and spoof routines, that it was welcomed as a very funny piece of glorious bad taste with some clever songs and lyrics. However, it did not catch on with the general public. After a two month run, it closed on November 17 th having played 77 performances and some 30 previews. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Offers authentic pleasure to those of us who enjoy serious issues camped up to melodrama level while plot-lines and characters scale the heights of absurdity."
IAN SHUTTLEWORTH for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "The series may have, as an academic claims in the programme, astutely mixed entertainment with message; this stage musical neither achieves nor even attempts any such blend. "
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Though the piece is preposterous hokum, the show is put across with enormous zest."
CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "A hell of a lot of fun."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "An enjoyable piece of sentimental melodrama and even has a little bite in its dramatic dentures."

Commentaire: Original ly created at the Theatre RoyStratford East for a limited season in February 1959. This was revived at Stratford for Christmas 1959 and then transferred to the West End in February 1960. Originally Frank Norman, a former member of the Soho underworld, wrote the piece as a straight play, but Joan Littlewood decided to make it a musical. As was the policy of the Theatre Workshop Company, the cast was responsible for much of the dialogue and action in their improvisation sessions. (plus)
