Michael Flatley is a bit of a dance legend. You could feel it in the air before the performance started, there was a definite buzz. Dangerous Minds is a flashy take on the traditional Irish Dance, with added robot costumes, back projection and a gymnast. This is one of those shows which will divide its audience, often stepping too far into the gaudy (watch out for a very dodgy digital unicorn) which smothered the power of the dance itself.

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium
Following a triumphant sold-out season this year, we are thrilled to announce that the new, smash-hit production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will return to The London Palladium for a strictly limited season of just 77 performances in summer 2020.
Released as a concept album in 1969, the stage version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has become one of the worlds most beloved family musicals. The multi-award-winning show, which began life as a small scale school concert, has been performed hundreds of thousands of times including multiple runs in the West End and on Broadway, international number one tours, and productions in over 80 countries as far afield as Austria and Zimbabwe and from Israel to Peru. The show features songs that have gone on to become pop and musical theatre standards, including Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door To Me, Jacob and Sons, There’s One More Angel In Heaven and Go, Go, Go, Joseph.
Told entirely through song with the help of the Narrator, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat follows the story of Jacob’s favourite son Joseph and his eleven brothers. After being sold into slavery by the brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled showman, the Pharaoh. As Joseph strives to resolve Egypt’s famine, he becomes Pharaoh’s right-hand man and eventually reunites with his family.

I Can’t Sing The X Factor Musical Review London Palladium
Well, it’s not as bad as you might have feared, or hoped, depending on your relationship with Simon Cowell. Nor is it as good as the mighty machinery of advance praise would have had you believe. If this sounds like damnation with faint praise, that’s possibly because it is. I Can’t Sing is OK. This conclusion hardly amounts to the coveted “Three Yesses” refrain of the TV talent show, but at a time when West End musicals by giants of the genre are crashing and burning in the wastelands of … [Read more...]
