Thank you for the head up! I love Craxton's work but sadly I can't make it down to Chichester by next week, but I'll be sure to get a copy of the catalogue.

I'm very curious about the nudity or lack thereof. The script features one of the most explicit sex scene arguably ever staged, and I wonder if they ditched the nudity during rehearsal or they used the warning to lure in Theo Walker's large gay following knowing full well they did not intend to show anything.

Just noticed that seats D1, D2, D37 and D38 in Stalls have been reduced to £25 for June. Just got mine. They go up to £79.50 in July. Thanks for this tip! Just grabbed one of the last ones left (That I could see anyway...) same here, many thanks for pointing it out!

Why do people write racist remarks with Disney Musicals such as Frozen and Romeo and Juliet? And yet Hadestown goes unscathed . Because they are more famous brands and the news of the casting reach a much broader audiences. Francesca Amewudah-Rivers got so much abuse because the presence of Tom Holland gave worldwide visibility to this production, had she played Juliet at the Globe or with RSC only few people would have protested. Adult white women have been recording and posting videos on TikTok of themselves crying in the past 24 hours because of the Rapunzel casting. All the non-white casting in Disney live adaptations have received huge backlash (I mean, it's racists rants, there's nothing reasonable behind those complaints), and only a fraction of those reached the theatre world simply because much fewer people know it even exists.

Oh wow what a magical experience Swan Lake was. I had goosebumps the minute I walked into the ROH auditorium. Bracewell and Kaneko were utterly captivating. This was my first ballet but I’ll definitely be seeing more in future. The sheer athleticism and story telling from the entire cast was incredible (special shout out to Leo Dixon too). I’ve been wanting to see Bracewell for a long time now and he did not disappoint. He’s such an effortless performer. Is there an easy way to track his future performances? So glad I splurged for a front row seat. I’m still in awe and can’t wait to get back again soon. Other ballet companies have wonderful websites in which every principal has a page with their future performances listed, but alas ROH's falls short even there. Bracewell is dancing in MacMillan's Requiem on April 4th and 9th (also to be broadcast in cinemas), and in The Winter's Tale on May 7th, 13th, and 22nd. Also, he shall dance in the Ashton triple bill The Dream/Short Works/Rhapsody in June: as Oberon in The Dream on June 18th and 22nd (the matinee), and as Hamlet in Hamlet and Ophelia on June 7th and 21st. He's dancing again in Swan Lake on April 27th and May 11th, this time alongside Franesca Hayward who, wonderful as she is, has been a disappointing Odette in the past. The new season is announced at the end of the month: if they do Romeo and Juliet again you don't want to miss his wonderful Romeo, and hopefully we'll get his Albrecht debut in Giselle

Well, Andrzej Lukowski has tweeted hinting that he liked it a lot so who knows! "Just saw a really great musical!" is the quote. Either he'd been at home streaming 'The Prince of Egypt' or things on here are about to get spicy. Describing Prince of Egypt as a great musical would also be a very spicy opinion

Job advents gone out suggesting a May/June run of Jerry's Girls for the Menier. Surely they need biggish names to sell a revue?

I think very few playwrights can boast professionally filmed productions of all their shows, so it's not necessarily easy to go about that way. I think your best option is to subscribe to something like National Theatre at Home or BroadwayHD and start exploring their catalogs. The NT one is particularly good, since a good amount of the shows they stream end up there, and they update it fairly regularly.

Having never seen this musical before can anyone tell me how big Charlie Stemps role is and if he does a lot of dancing? It will be the deciding factor whether I book or not as otherwise I'm not that bothered about seeing it. Yeah it's a great supporting role with good songs ("Bianca") and a lot of dancing

It doesn't make a lot of sense, but admittedly so many paper-thin plays have won the Olivier on the strength of spectacular productions that it's not awful to prioritize playwriting by sending installments of franchises in the entertainment category.
