Brigadoon is a charming revival of Lerner & Loewe’s musical at the Open Air Theatre – review

admin, , , ,

We’ll admit that we knew very little about Brigadoon – the final show of this summer’s season at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre – before going to check it out, other than it was written by musical theatre duo Lerner & Loewe (most famous for My Fair Lady). If you’ve not heard of it either, there’s a good reason for that – this is the first London revival for over 35 years. Perhaps the show has been ignored for so long because it’s absolutely ridiculous: we often have to…

The season usually ends with a musical, and this year is no different: for 2024 we have a revival of Fiddler on the Roof, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Jordan Fein directs this classic musical about smalltown life in the Jewish village of Anatevka. For those who haven’t…

Musical adaptation of 101 Dalmatians feels like a missed opportunity – review

admin, , , ,

Zinnie Harris’ new stage adaptation of the classic Dodie Smith novel, with music and lyrics by Douglas Hodge and book by Johnny McKnight, is a show with a lot of potential. Originally expected to debut in summer 2020 but delayed two years due to Covid, it’s now on in the coveted prime slot of the Open Air Theatre’s summer season. It stars the excellent Kate Fleetwood as the infamous Cruella De Vil and is packed full of puppetry – it has all the ingredients for a perfect summer’s evening in…
