I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical

James Seabright presents I WISH MY LIFE WERE LIKE A MUSICAL by Alexander S. Bermange This comedic musical revue reveals everything you could want to know about musical theatre, and the people who love it – on both sides of the curtain! Covering the journey from wide-eyed drama student to brattish diva or past-it chorus member, or bitter has-been (or never-was), this show lifts the lid on awful auditions, debilitating dance routines, mid-performance mishaps, backstage backstabbing, superfans and harsh critics – plus those magical moments that make it all worthwhile. Coming directly from its third Edinburgh Fringe season, this sell-out show has garnered an astonishing 35 five-star reviews, a West End Wilma award, and three award nominations. ★★★★★ “Flawless... A definite hit” British Theatre ★★★★★ “So much to enjoy in this superb show” British Theatre Guide ★★★★★ “Sharp satire and simply, undiluted fun. Go see!” Broadway Baby ★★★★★ “Delightful… Plenty to enjoy for industry and fans alike” Broadway World ★★★★★ “Hilarious... Wonderfully witty... Refreshingly original” Edinburgh Guide ★★★★★ “Crisp, perfect, immaculate, hilarious. An unmistakable gem!” Musical Talk ★★★★★ “Laughs come thick and fast. Delightfully whimsical!” Musical Theatre Review “A loving tribute to the world of musicals, with sweet, catchy tunes, witty lyrics and a top cast in great form” Matt Lucas “A must-see from leading British musical creator Alexander S. Bermange” Tim Rice “Amazing talents and a brilliant score” Miriam Margolyes “Fun, witty and poignant” Bonnie Langford “You need to get to see this show” Ruthie Henshall

Only An Octave Apart

Hot on the heels of a sensational run in New York last year, ‘the greatest cabaret artist of their generation’ (The New Yorker) and ‘the vocally brilliant and dramatically fearless countertenor’ (The New York Times) are bringing their acclaimed show to London. Only An Octave Apart is Justin Vivian Bond and Anthony Roth Costanzo’s joyous and surprising musical fantasia, revelling in everything strange and beautiful in the coexistence of contrasts - from Purcell’s 17th century aria “Dido’s Lament” to Dido’s early 2000s hit “White Flag”, from “Autumn Leaves” to “The Waters of March”. Co-created and directed by Zack Winokur, with music supervision by Thomas Bartlett, arrangements by Nico Muhly, musical direction by Daniel Schlosberg, and costume design by JW Anderson, Only an Octave Apart celebrates the historical and the hysterical, from countertenor to counterculture.Presented by Kindred Partners and Creative Partners Productions In association with Justin Vivian Bond | Anthony Roth Costanzo | Zack Winokur Important Covid-19 infromation from the venueAll visitors to the building are encouraged to wear a face covering.
