Saturday 28th August 2010
Another weekend and another trip to the theatre. This week is a little different to last week's Prisoner of Second Avenue, this week it's Sister Act.
The intention was meant to be going to see Sister Act to see Whoopi Goldberg as the Mother Superior, however she had to cancel, which was all very sad, but it was still a very good show. Still think they should have had "Follow Him" in it though.

We Will Rock You theatre breaks
http://theatreinlondon.blogspot.com/2010/08/we-will-rock-you-theatre-breaks.html
We Will Rock YouOriginally uploaded by Hilary_JWGood time to book We Will Rock You theatre breaks in London for the main show while the touring production is also out and about. We don't know how long exactly the Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road is going to carry on as the home venue for We Will Rock You but it's a big theatre and the Queen rock musical has been playing there for over ten years already. That's a heck of a long run for a West End musical. I like the way different stars come and go but the show goes on forever. For example, we saw Rachel Tucker as Meat and she was great in that role, and according to the forum she was brilliant in We Will Rock You on the nights she got to play Scaramouche as well, and then went on to play Elphaba in Wicked where she's a huge hit. If you see the touring version of WWRY by the way, you get to see Jenny one of the Dorothy contenders from Over The Rainbow. And the best of luck to her too. We Will Rock You Theatre Breaks

Love Never Dies Reviews
http://theatreinlondon.blogspot.com/2010/08/love-never-dies-reviews.html
There are plenty of Love Never Dies reviews out there, and more than a few are tainted by the negativity of the "phans" who just can't let go of their ove for teh original Phantom Of The Opera enough to cope with a sequel. It's a shame, and rather silly in my opinion. One writer recently explained that they nearly passed up an opportunity to see the new production by Andrew Lloyd Webber's continuation of the Phantom of the Opera, called Love Never Dies. I allowed my cynisicm to get the better of me, thinking that there is no way that you can continue the magic of a classic. How wrong I was. So luckily this person had an open enough mind to at least see the show, and allow themselves to be captivated by it. But how many others have missed the chance to appreciate Raol, Christine and The Phantom in a new setting? As it turned out, it has been one of the best productions for a long time. It is so refreshing to hear a new totally new original musical score that isn't a rehashing of something else. Well OK, there are some tunes of Webber's that may have had an outing in one or two of his less popular shows before , but that is the artist's privelidge. And he includes a classic rock opera signature into his musical composition which some may roll their eyes at, but it is something that is uniquely Webber that I adore. He has been credited with bringing Opera to the masses. Love Never Dies isn't one of the cheapest tickets in London's West End but you can definitely see the money up there on the stage. There are at least 30 cast members, with lots of costumes and special effects to keep you impressed. See and download the full gallery on posterous Posted via email from Love Never Dies

Wizard Of Oz is 71 today
http://wizardofozlondon.co.uk/198/wizard-of-oz-is-71-today/
Happy birthday to The Wizard of Oz, the film that is, not the musical, Seventy One years old today! And Google has a special google logo thing on their search page just for Wizard of Oz
Google – Wizard of Oz
Who would have thought that the film was that old? According to the Internet Movie Database ( IMDB) The Wizard of Oz was released on 25 August 1939 (USA) but I’m sure Google has a good reason for celebrating early. Ah yes, the premiere was in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on teh 12th August 1939, so that’s the day to celebrate a birthday in Oz.

The Troxy, Commercial Road - East London.

Jim Linwood has added a photo to the pool:
The Troxy is a 1930’s art deco Grade II listed building with the capacity of over 2,600 now a corporate, conferencing, exhibition, banqueting and live concert venue.
Designed by George Coles for Hyams & Gale as a cinema in 1933, it was renowned for its large revolving stage, Wurlitzer Organ and opulent decor which included chandeliers and large sweeping staircases.
As a result of the wartime damage to the building, the Troxy closed its doors in1960 showing its last film The Siege of Sidney Street and re opened in 1963 as the London Opera Centre run by The Royal Opera House. The venue gained its Grade II listing in 1990 and was converted into a Bingo Hall run by Mecca Bingo until 2006.
