Every story starts somewhere. It's the early hours of the morning and Danny's the last straggler at Laura's party. The flat's in a mess. And so are they. One more drink?

All Or Nothing Musical | All Or Nothing London | Ambassadors Theatre
1965. A new phenomenon erupted out of London's East End. It was the essence of all that was cool. It was Mod.

The story still utilises the … [Read more...]

They’ve done it before and I’m quietly confident they’ll do so again. For this production of Jason Robert Brown’s 13 The Musical, 19 characters are played by a total of 47 performers throughout the run. Beyond that, as the cast photos are not accompanied by their names in the show’s programme, it is quite impossible to say for definite who was played by whom. No … [Read more...]
