Plus, we sit down with the talented Nancy Crane to discuss her upcoming role in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s new production of Kyoto at Soho Place.
Ballet Shoes at the National Theatre
Ballet Shoes, the beloved novel by Noel Streatfeild, has been reimagined on stage in a beautiful new version by Kendall Feaver, directed by Katy Rudd. Set in a crumbling house filled with dinosaur bones, three adopted sisters - Pauline, Petrova, and Posy - discover their passions and ambitions, each navigating their own path toward becoming who they dream to be. This heartwarming story about family, dreams, and perseverance, set against the backdrop of dance, is a delightful treat for audiences of all ages.
Here You Come Again – The Dolly Parton Musical
Get ready to dance, laugh, and sing along to Here You Come Again, a new Dolly Parton musical that celebrates the iconic songs of the legendary country music queen. Featuring hits like Jolene, 9 to 5, and Islands in the Stream, this rollicking and joyous musical comedy tells the story of a devoted Dolly fan who finds comfort and wisdom in his fantasy version of Dolly herself. The show stars Tricia Paoluccio as Dolly, with an incredible cast bringing these iconic songs to life. Directed by Gabriel Barre and adapted for the UK by Jonathan Harvey, this feel-good musical is a reminder of the power of music, humour, and Dolly’s wisdom to get us through tough times.
