Commentaire: Following sell-out dates at Jermyn Street Theatre and the former New Player's Theatre, Jest End marks its highly anticipated return to Leicester Square Theatre in 2012. With two exclusive new dates just announced, this evening of satirical escapism is fast becoming a firm fixture in Theatreland.
The Forbidden Broadway-style show is written and directed by Garry Lake and features regularly updated material parodying the West End's most popular musicals. Long-runners lovingly lampooned include The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Wicked; though you can also expect recent and impending arrivals such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Ghost and Matilda.

Commentaire: With alternating narrators and some interesting low-key choreography from Adam Cooper – involving a lot of moving of stools! – this was yet another successful revival. One critic ascribed its success to the fact that this is “Sondheim with the difficult bits cut out”. (plus)

Joué durant 1 semaine
Nb de preview: 9 previews
Nb de représentations: 3 représentations
Première preview: 29 September 2003 Première: 29 September 2003 Dernière: 11 October 2003
Compositeur: *** Divers • Parolier: *** Divers • Libettiste: *** Divers • Metteur en scène: Daniel Abineri • Chorégraphe: Michele Thorne • Avec: Peter Blake (Lord OJ), Sarah-Louise Young (Lady Tiggy), Gabrielle Noble (Rosie Kane), Camilla (Angel), Perry Benson (Perkins), Tony Kemp (Hugo), Rachel Lynes, Graham Martin, Josephine Buchan
Commentaire: The show opened on Thursday 9th October (following nine days of previews) with advance bookings being accepted up to mid January 2004. The following morning and evening the newspaper reviews appeared: “Musical-comedy-thriller? It misses all three targets”, “jaw-droppingly dreadful”, “makes Thunderbirds puppets sound like Chekhov”, “a stinker”, “lyrics of unrivalled awfulness”, etc. After the 6.30pm early show on the Saturday the company was told the show was ending there and then - they didn’t even play the 9.15pm show. This was one of the swiftest disasters for many years. (plus)
Presse: "...Money to Burn is a shocker of a show by the actor Daniel Abineri... his lyrics and libretto are as dim as his chances of a box office success." The Daily Mail
"...This jaw-droppingly dreadful new musical... doesn't even make it into the cherished so-bad-it's-good category. Only at fleeting moments does its direness rise to the dizzy heights of sublimity... Daniel Abineri, who has Doth written and directed Money to Bum, confesses piognantly in a programme note that no fewer than 21 London producers turned the show down, yet one readily understands their reluctance... To his credit, Abineri has written some halfway decent tunes recalling the light music of the 1930s and '40s. But his crass lyrics, cack-handed plotting and dialogue that makes the Thunderbirds puppets sound like characters in Chekhov, ensure that the show goes down in a blushmaking orgy of embarrassment..." The Daily Telegraph
"London hasn't had one for a while, so in a way it's reassuring that a terrible musical has arrived in the West End. Connoisseurs of this sub-genre will be heartened to learn that Money to Bum is absolutely without merit. Yet elusive cult 'so-bad-it's-good' status is something of which it can only dream... Abineri aspires to satire, farce, kitsch and camp, but manages to miss each one by a staggering distance..." The London Evening Standard
'This subterranean space just off Leicester Square... plumbs the depths v/ith a show, written and directed by Daniel Abineri, that describes itself as a 'musical comedy thriller' and that manages to miss all three of its chosen targets..." The Guardian

Commentaire: The show premiered at the fringe Venue Theatre where the comedienne & talk-show host, Rosie O’Donnell was so impressed with it, she raised the finance for a Broadway transfer. It opened in New York (with some major re-writing and new numbers) on 13 November 2003, received damning reviews and closed after 100 performances, losing some $10 million. Boy George himself appeared in the Broadway version (under his real name, George O’Dowd.) (plus)
