With Halloween now officially behind us Christmas is in full swing in the West End. Elf the musical which is a West End classic has reopened at the Aldwych theatre.

She is now also Jenna in Waitress on the upcoming UK tour. But first this real life couple will be falling in love nightly at this fun festive show.

The new cast looks amazing as does the Aldwych Theatre which took on some rennovations after the closing of Tina in order to expand the stage for the full set of Elf. And the finiishing touch of a beautiful curtain call where fake snow falls on the audience. The last time Elf was in London was at the Dominion ( now the home of The Devil Wears prada) which had a much bigger stage. But from the photos and audience reaction nothing about this production was toned down. The stage effects add to the magical feel of the show.

Book tickets to see Elf now when the festive season is just startring because we anticipate it will quickly become the most sought after ticket once December comes!

It’s the news we’ve all been hoping for! Disney’s Hercules has released an Original London Cast Recording on digital platforms today. The CD will be available on the 21st November and the vinyl on the 5th December. Hercules Cast Recording features all the original songs form the film as well as the new songs from the musical. The show has been playing successfully in the West End since June this year.

The album is performed by the original and current London Cast which stars Luke Brady as Hercules, Mae Ann Jorolan as Meg, Trevor Dion Nicholas as Phil and Stephen Carlile as Hades. The Muses are many peoples favourite part of the show and they are played by Candance Furbert as Thalia, Sharlene Hector as Clio, Brianna Ogunbawo as Melpomene, Malinda Parris as Calliope and Robyn Rose- Li as Terpsichore.

From the Writers

Alan Menken, who wrote for the 1997 animated film with David Zippel, said. “This Hercules cast album represents the culmination of a journey that started way back in the mid-’90s. In the world of Disney animation. The unique opportunities that came from composing a score filled with stylish pop and gospel influences. Combined with David Zippel’s brilliant, sophisticated lyrics, never failed to delight me. I believe audiences connected, both then and now, with that sense of joy we had in our writing process.

“One of my favorite aspects of adapting my own pre-existing material for a stage production. Is being able to give voice to characters who never sang before, like Hades. Including Hades’ new song, David and I have written seven new songs that bring even more heart and soul into the story.”

David Zippela also added, “What a joy it has been for Alan and me to reconnect with Hercules. The Muses, Meg, Hades, the Mount Olympus gang, our brilliant music department, and the extraordinary singing actors who bring these characters and our songs to life. We have loved the chance to write new songs and deepen Hercules’ emotional journey, and we cannot be more excited to share this album with, what the ancient Greeks called, the known world.”

Now that the summer season is over and we’ve sadly said goodbye to some of our favourite shows. The question is what will be filling the Evita-sized hole in our hearts. Thankfully the West End is still thriving and we have 5 new West End shows opening this month alone. In this blog I will be discussing all the new offerings and the best ways to catch them at good prices.

The Producers

The first on the list is the transfer of The Producers from the Menier Chocolate Factory now at the Garrick. This is the first major revival of Mel Brookes The Producers to open in London. At the Chocolate Factory it did very well and was praised with 5 star reviews and a sold-out run. The show tells the story of two theatrical producers who attempts to put on the worst musical Broadway has seen and oversell the interest in the film in order to get rich. Hilarity ensues when instead the show is a huge hit.

The Producers just had their press night and received a mix of 4-5 star reviews and was praised as a hilarious and outrageous comedy that touches on some serious topics. With a brilliant sense of humor. Read all about it in our review round-up here. It is booking until February 2026 and you can find tickets on theatrebookings. As well as for other new west end shows.

The Weir

The Weir starring Brendan Gleeson is making it’s long-awaited West End Transfer. This also marks Brendan Gleeson’s West End Debut. After a successful press night, the show has received 5 star reviews across the board. The Weir first premiered in 1997 and was written by Conor McPherson. It then played on Broadway as well as other locations in both Countries. The Weir is set in a County Leitrim pub where on a stormy night they swap stories, spooky and humorous alike to impress Valerie a beautiful but mysterious stranger. The Guardian describes the play as “an endlessly rewarding evening…” with five characters that stay with you. The show is starring Brendan Gleeson in his much anticipated West End debut as an Emmy, BIFA winner and Oscar nominee. Tickets are going quickly so make sure you book now to secure the best prices for The Weir.

The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest is a smash hit production from the National Theatre of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy play. The show transferred to the West End this Autumn with Olly Alexander leading the show as Algernon Moncrieff. The play is lovingly described as a trivial comedy for serious people and was very well-recieved last year with the telegraph calling it a “glittering masterpiece”.

The show is about Jack (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) and his friend Algy (Olly Alexandra), who decide to take on a false identity as being sensible is becoming a bit boring. Hilarity ensues when they become entangled in a web of lies while attempting to impress two eligible ladies. The Importance of Being Earnest is a “sparkling new production… that’s fiercely faithful to Wilde’s wickedly subversive spirit”(Daily Mail).

Clarkston

Clarkston is a new play by Samuel D. Hunter premiering in the West End for a strictly limited 9 week run. The play follows Jake (Locke) who has an unexpected meeting with Chris(Samuel D. Hunter) at his night shift in Costco. The two bond and rediscover their sense of adventure and how to give life new meaning by chasing something more. The play is a modern frontier story that tackles the topics of friendship, acceptance love and hope. Early audience reactions have been very positive with the general buzz online being that Hunter is a new playwright to watch and the performances are especially strong by all three leads. On stage seating is also available for this play which is always exciting is you want to be up close to the action.

Punch

This play is a powerful true story from Olivier Award-winning writer James Graham about Jacob Dunne, who one evening years ago punched someone fatally. On this fateful evening James Hodginson became caught in a street-fight after attending a cricket match. Jacob then joined his friends at the scene and threw a single punch before running off. Tragically this resulted in James losing his life 9 days later in hospital due to brain related injuries. Jacob was sentenced to 14 months in prison and after his release built a relationship with Jame’s parents through the restorative justice campaign. The play focuses on this relationship and the profound transformation the meeting has on Jacob’s life. It was originally written and produced by Nottingham Playhouse.

The Mel Brooks musical has finally made it’s triumphant return to the West End after a sold out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory. The Producers was in previews at the Garrick and now after it’s press night the review are in. In this review round-up we will go over what the different publications are saying and how the show was received. Spoiler alert, it’s glowing reviews across the board.

The Standard

“At 99 years old, and amid countless other achievements. Mel Brooks can congratulate himself on having the funniest show in London.”

“In a time of polarisation and performative outrage, this show is a hymn to tolerance and the ability to laugh with others and at oneself.”

“…has grown in swagger and finesse since it premiered at the Menier last December.Now, I honestly can’t find fault with it.”

“Truly we are not worthy. The line Bialystok quotes from a review of Springtime for Hitler also sums up The Producers. “It was shocking, outrageous and insulting – and I loved every minute of it.”

Nick Curtis

The Telegraph – ★★★★

“A carnival of wisecracks and witty tunes, the show is all about a Broadway producer’s outrageous bid to engineer a dead-cert flop. By mounting a worst-taste extravaganza in praise of Hitler.”

“It’s still a winningly funny proposition for a new generation – and Marber pulls out all the stops to raise the Garrick roof.”

“The verbal wit is matched with visual élan. Choreographer Lorin Latarro honours the Fiddler-ish pastiche of Bialystock’s opening number with preposterously prancing shtetl figures”

Dominic Cavendish

London Theatre – ★★★★★

“…it delivers one belly laugh after another. And still, there is so much more to this production than good, old-fashioned tomfoolery.”

“Cheekily played by Nyman, he is packed full of shameless tricks and bravado.”

“Joanna Woodward is scene-stealing as the Swedish secretary Ulla in what otherwise is very much a boys’ show. But its humour never falters.”

“It is in these big, boisterous chorus numbers that The Producers is at its best. But there are countless small delights, too”

“What a joy it is to revel in Marber’s never-ending silliness. If you want non-stop giggles, gloriously provocative jokes and an easy escape from everyday misery, there’s no better place to be right now than the Garrick. This is an absolute hoot.”

Anya Ryan

The Stage – ★★★★

“He saturates this slick musical comedy with a wealth of physical gags, exquisitely timed double takes and an expertly judged sense of the absurd that enhances the show’s momentum.”

“Add to this Scott Pask’s clever composite set and Paul Farnsworth’s inventive, colourful costume designs, and the production seems to have found its natural home in the West End.”

“Its success relies in no small part on the hugely entertaining double act at its heart.”

“There isn’t a moment where the pace drops in Marber’s production, and there’s even time for a love story”

Paul Vale

Whatsonstage – ★★★★★

“After all, the genius of Mel Brooks’ comedy musical lies as much in its skewering of the ludicrousness of fascist ideology as its satire of showbiz.”

“But it’s not all about the set pieces. It’s anchored by a pair of outstanding performances from Andy Nymn and Marc Antolin…”

“It’s a treat for the ears too, with the band, situated atop a platform at the back of the stage, equally luxurious under the baton of Matthew Samer.”

“The Producers has come back to the West End just at the right time, offering a giant slab of feel-good escapism and genuine hilarity when such things feel in short supply.”

“Whether you’re a fan of the 1967 screen original or a newcomer, it’s got plenty of pleasures to flaunt.”

Theo Bosanquet

What did reviewers think of The Producers

With the London Tube Strikes set to go ahead from the 7th – 11th Sep, West End shows have sent out warnings to theatre goers that their journey to the show might face delays and disruptions.

London Underground staff will be striking all next week. Due to talks breaking down between the RMT union and Transport for London. The dispute is in regards to pay, fatigue and the long working week.

As of today all West End shows are going ahead as normal at their usual times. Most theatres are in the Central London area near Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Station where the Elizabeth Line should continue to run unaffected. There’s also a good network of buses in the area. However with the extra traffic and stress on the bus system theater-goers are advised to leave plenty of buffer time for their journey.

We normally advise aiming to arrive 30mins early in order to relax and enjoy the facilities, merch etc. For this week an hour early will be safest as West End Shows do typically start very on time. Some productions won’t let late-comers in till the interval. The three shows that could prove more difficult to attend are Starlight Express as Wembley Troubadour Theatre. Hamilton at Victoria Palace and Wicked at Apollo Victoria. As all other theatres are in the West End zone in Central London.

Stadium concerts have been postponed due to the strikes with Coldplay and Post Malone rescheduling their shows. Stage shows should be proceeding as scheduled.

Despite the London Tube Strikes at theatrebookings we still offer great prices to all shows on the West End. Book to see a show this week and take advantage of the cheaper pricing now that summer is over.
