The Great Gatsby has arrived with some fanfare from Broadway, rocking up in London’s huge Coliseum for a limited run, with some big name talent attached. First impressions are strong: we have a full orchestra, the art deco set is opulent, there are literal on-stage fireworks within the first few minutes of the show. So how does it fare? To be honest we were disappointed – there are some impressive vocal performances from the cast, but beyond that there’s not a lot to enjoy. However, we’ll start with the positives:…

Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan raises £120,000 for trans charity after UK court ruling

Nicola Coughlan’s fundraiser supporting Not A Phase helped keep the charity’s vital services afloat.
