Dianne Pilkington To Join Tyne Daley In Masterclass
View the Article: http://www.theatretickets-london.co.uk/article/diannepilkingtonsettojointhemasterclass-228.htm
Masterclass, the Broadway play that hits the west end from January 2012 will now see Dianne Pilkington star opposite Tyne Daly.
Daly and Pilkington will be joined in the play by Naomi O'Connell, Gerard Carey, Garrett Sorenson and Jeremy Cohen, who will make his West End debut reprising his role from the Broadway run of the play.
The award-winning play from Terrence Mcnally takes the audience to one of Callas's famous master classes where, late in her career, she dares what will be the next generation to make the same sacrifices to attempt to rise to the same dizzy heights that made her the most controversial and celebrated singer of her time.
Dianne Pilkington will play the role of Sophie De Palma and was most recently seen on the west end stage in long-runner The 39 Steps but is arguably best known for her 9 month stint at the Apollo Victoria playing Glinda in musical Wicked. Her other stage credits include She Loves Me at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Cats and Beauty And The Beast on tour.
Masterclass will play at the Vaudeville Theatre in London from 21st January until 28th April 2012 and is directed by Stephen Wadsworth.
Theatre tickets in London to Masterclass and all productions at the Vaudeville Theatre are available to book securely through both BmyConcierge and Theatre Tickets London

Agyness Deyn To Make West End Debut In The Leisure Society
View the Article: http://www.theatretickets-london.co.uk/article/agynessdeyntostarattrafalgarstudios-227.htm
Agyness Deyn, the British supermodel will make her stage debut in The Leisure Society, a new comedy about a vulgar couple with more money than sense along side veteran stage actor Ed Stoppard.
François Archambault's comedy play The Leisure Society will open in the west end at Trafalgar Studios 2 on March 1st 2012 with previews from February 28th. A deliciously funny and offensive satire, the four-hander tells the story of a work-numbed, self-obsessed couple, played by Ed Stoppard and Melanie Gray, who suddenly find their life has gone out of control.
The Leisure Society is set over the course of an evening of drunken debauchery with their fast-living best friend and his young 'friend' with benefits, and is described as a morality play with no morals exploring a world of both self-indulgence and excess.
Agyness Deyn will play the promiscuous and free-spirited Paula. The UK super model has graced the cover of fashion magazines and walked down catwalks all over the world and is the face of numerous high-profile fashion houses. Vogue Paris listed her as one of the top 30 models in the world over the last 10 years, and after deciding to take a break from modelling to forge a career in acting, she made her debut in the 2010Hollywood movie Clash Of The Titans playing Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love.
Ed Stoppard makes his return to the London stage after the hit revival of Arcadia at the Duke of York's theatre in 2009 with his other stage credits including English Touring Theatre's Hamlet, The Glass Menagerie at the Apollo Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre's The Seagull. He is also a well known face on TV, and starred in the recent remake of Upstairs Downstairs and Tchaikovsky: Fortune And Tragedy.
The London premiere of The Leisure Society at Trafalgar Studios 2 will be directed by Harry Burton and will run until 24th March 2012.

Could The Commitments Be The Next Show To Rock The West End?
View the Article: http://www.theatretickets-london.co.uk/article/couldthecommitmentsbecomingtothewestend-222.htm
Rumours are going around theatreland that a new stage show version of the classic 1991 movie The Commitments is being planned and advanced talks are taking place to bring the show to the west end stage.
The Commitments was a hugely successful movie telling of a group of unemployed Dubliners who form a soul band. The movie was filmed on location in Dublin and directed by Alan Parker from a screenplay adapted by Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais, and Roddy Doyle and was an international co-production between companies in the UK, Ireland and the United States.
The film featured a cast of mainly unknown actors but had a soundtrack that was packed with timeless soul classic hits including 'Mustang Sally', 'Chain Of Fools', 'Mr Pitful', Bye Bye Baby', 'Take Me To The River' and 'Try A Little Tenderness' and was an international success.
The Commitments focuses on Jimmy Rabbitte who aspires to manage the world's greatest band, with only one type of music in mind: soul. Disgusted with bands in Ireland, Jimmy assembles a soul band in the tradition of his heroes Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and James Brown. Jimmy holds band auditions at his parents' house and assembles together a talented group of young musicians. Unlike his soul idols, Jimmy's band are all white and with the help of Joey "The Lips" Fagan, a veteran musician in the band who tells unlikely stories about meeting and working with famous stars, Jimmy begins to whip the rest of the members into shape - only to have the group eventually fall apart in a clash of egos.
Although this is just rumour and speculation at the moment, a stage version of The Commitments is a very exciting proposition and would appeal to a very large target audience and our sources tell us that advanced negotiations with major producers are now underway so watch this space for further info.

November West End News
The latest revival of the Sondheim classic, directed by Jonathan Kent, will transfer from The Chichester Festival Theatre where it has received rave reviews including 5 stars from 6 national newspapers from March 10th.
Starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton in the roles of Benjamin Barker aka Sweeney, and his accomplice and landlady Mrs. Lovett, the new production is scheduled to run for an initial booking period of 6 months.
Sweeney Todd premiered in 1979 and revolves around the tragic story of Benjamin Barker whose wife is raped by a judge and subsequently commits suicide.
Barker who assumes the alias of Sweeney Todd vows revenge but following his failure to kill the villainous judge evolves into a serial killer. Todd murders his victims by slitting their throats as they sit in his barber’s chair, whilst his partner in crime Mrs. Lovett disposes of the evidence by using their flesh in her meat pies.
America’s arrival in London coincides with Darius’ return to Chicago
It’s certainly far removed from her most famous role to date – that of loveable loser Betty Saurez in the Emmy awarding winning ABC series which ran for four series to 2010.
In swapping her braces and trade mark specs for fishnets the 27 year old Californian will follow in a long line of Roxies such as Michelle Williams, Denise Van Outen, Brooke Shields and Ashley Simpson.
Opposite Ferrara in this latest casting of the Fosse favourite will be Amra-Faye Wright in the role of Velma, the part she is currently playing on Broadway, and Pop Idol product Darius Campbell (formerly Danesh) as Billy Flynn.
Campbell most recently trod the boards at The New London Theatre back in 2008 as Rhett in Trevor Nunn’s ill -fated Gone with the Wind.
Prior to that the Glaswegian has previously played the role of Flynn, having been the youngest ever performer in the role when he joined the cast of Chicago The Musical in 2005 at the age of just 25. He later went on to consolidate his leading man credentials playing Sky Masterson in Michael Grandage's Olivier Award winning production of Guys and Dolls.
So it’s So Long to the Prince of Wales Theatre where the lycra-clad cast have been entertaining audiences with Abba classics for over 8 years, and hello to the Novello which sits, ironically, just a stones through from Waterloo Bridge.
It can’t be denied that since opening back in 1999 Mamma Mia has certainly had its producers singing Money, Money, Money having played to 50 million people through its 34 productions worldwide and grossed a cool $2bn!!
Producer Judy Craymer is quoted as saying: “I am delighted that the original production of Mamma Mia will move to the stage of the beautiful Novello theatre. It is a perfect space for the musical. The Novello is a gem of a theatre that perfectly suits the creative needs of Mamma Mia, and provides a comfortable and friendly experience for audiences in the heart of Theatreland.”
Ramin Karimloo returns to Les Miserables
Having recently originated the role of the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies as well as having performed in the title role at the 25th Anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera he returns to Les Miserables having previously starred as Enjolras.
Karimloo joins a current cast which includes Hadley Fraser as Javert, Caroline Sheen as Fantine and Alexia Khadime as Eponine.
Marti Pellow Joins Blood Brothers
The Scot, a well seasoned stage performer following stints in The Witches of Eastwick and Jekyll and Hyde, stepped into the role of the Narrator at the Pheonix from November the 1st.
Million Dollar Quartet is the juke box musical which tells the story of a legendary evening in rock ‘n’ roll folklore when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins convened on the Sun Records recording studios in Memphis for a impromptu jam session. Following a successful stint in the West End we are told the producers are now planning a national UK tour.
Replacing MDQ at the Noel Coward Theatre, will quite aptly be a Coward work in the form of Hay Fever.
The show which is one of Coward’s most popular, was last seen in the West End in 2006 when it starred Dame Judi Dench as Judith opposite Belinda Lang and Peter Bowles.
This time around Lindsay Duncan, Jeremy Northam, Kevin McNally and Olivia Colman will star in Howard Davies’s production.
Lindsay Duncan will take on the role of Judith Bliss, once the star of the London stage and now intent on injecting drama into her retirement.
To spice up her weekend, she invites a young suitor to join her in the country, but her novelist husband and two children also have the same idea. The result of this inadvertent house party is a weekend of misjudged meetings, secret seductions and scandalous revelations

Rock Of Ages Tickets- The Final Countdown
Advance sales of Rock Of Ages tickets have so far looked promising and suppliers are bullish about the show seeing it as a real challenger to we Will Rock You to be the number one Rock stage show in London after its successful runs in theatres as far and wide as the U.S, Canada and Australia.
And why not? This is a stage show that doesn't take itself too seriousely and is packed with 28 classic singalong rock anthems from the 1980's fused into a cheesy boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back again storyline that should provide a nice little bit of escapism for the theatre going public for a couple of hours making Rock Of Ages tickets a nice little investment for people wishing to let their hair down and 'give it large' with a bit of 'air guitar'!
The Shaftesbury Theatre is the venue to host the Rock Of Ages stage show and producers hope that the 1400 seat capacity of the theatre will be enough to accommodate the demand with 8 shows a week to be played out. With a musical score that includes The Final Countdown, Don't Stop Believin', Every Rose Has Its Thorn, and We're Not Gonna Take It from classic 80's rock bands, Rock Of Ages tickets are being snapped up by the lucrative 35-55 age group which is another reason why the expectations are so high for the show.
So will Rock Of Ages in London be a hit or a massive bellyflop disapointment? Only time will tell but the omens are good so get your air guitars at the ready and head down to the Shaftesbury Theatre this September for a dose of sillyness and nostalgia that is sure to have you singing and dancing in the aisles!

The Rock Of Ages stage show tries its best not to take itself too seriously with its boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back again storyline that manages to mix in 28 classic 1980's rock anthems into the mix including 'The Final Countdown' (Europe), 'We're Not Gonna Take It, (Twisted Sister), 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' (Bon Jovi) and of course 'Don't Stop Believing' (Journey) and it is this fusion of simple uncomplicated storyline mixed in with a rocking familiar musical score that the producers are pinning their hopes of wowing the west end theatre going public on.
Another plus point that should help the success of the show and sale of Rock Of Ages tickets is the confirmation of a making of a Hollywood movie version of the show starring Tom Cruise and Russell Brand which on paper looks to be inspired casting and could see the stage show audience increasing with the popularity of the movie as was the case with the (still) incredibly successful Mamma Mia.
So all in all the signals are positive for the sale of Rock Of Ages tickets and London could have a new pretender to the west end rock musical crown, so watch this space and 'Don't Stop Believing!'

There were few performers who could put on a better live show than Freddie Mercury and this show acts as a lasting tribute to his majestic stage performances.
It is not as though the music of Queen was all about one man though, as Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon were all involved in creating the magical unforgettable songs that people love!

We Will Rock You-The Best Of London Theatre
Classic rock has experienced a revival recently but considering that We Will Rock You tickets have been selling like hot cakes since 2002, it would be wrong to tie the success of the show in with the recent revivals an reforming of other bands from the 1970's and '80's. The current craze for classic rock certainly won’t hurt anyones desire to see the show but even without it We Will Rock You tickets would still be hot property as the popularirty of Queen has never diminished.
There are many reasons for the over-riding popularity of the show and the huge demand for We Will Rock You tickets, but it would be wrong to overlook the importance of Queen. The legendary band have so many fans all over the world that there will always be a demand to see the show and as you would expect, there are some fans who have seen the show over and over again as it provides the perfect opportunity to relive these classic songs in a live setting bringing out the very best in these classic rock anthems.
There was a sense of flamboyance, pomp and majesty about the music of Queen and this is why their music works so well on the stage. The plotline for the We Will Rock You stage show is set in a futuristic world and is as hugely extravagant and over the top as you would expect. The setting for the show ties in perfectly with the music of the group and keen fans of the band will be snapping up We Will Rock You tickets for as long as the show remains on the London west end stage.
Although the Queen hits are central to the demand for We Will Rock You tickets, it would be wrong to underplay the role of the cast in the show’s success. Great songs and writing is one thing but it takes quality actors and performers to pull the show together and get the audience going and believing in the plot. This is certainly the case with the We Will Rock You show, which is no mean feat given the outlandish and spectacular nature of the show. Of course, this means the show is a lot more upbeat and energetic than many west end musicals, which makes it perfect for people who may not necessarily consider themselves fans of the genre.
The beauty of We Will Rock You tickets is that they provide more than a show; they provide the audience with the opportunity to enjoy the songs of Queen once more live. Listening to the songs at home can be enjoyable but seeing them performed in the live theatre with a full crowd singing along adds an extra dimension and atmosphere to the songs, which greatly increases the enjoyment factor. We Will Rock You is a tremendous way to enjoy live theatre while recapturing the great moments of greatest rock bands of all time from their heyday.

We Will Rock You Tickets Will Rock Queen Fans!
There are other ways to relive and experience the music of Queen, one being enjoying a night at the theatre seeing We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre in London. We Will Rock You tickets give Queen fans both old and new an opportunity to experience the classic songs in a live setting once again.
Freddie Mercury used to know how to work a crowd and was one of the most flamboyant entertainers ever to grace the stage. You get the impression that the great man himself would have loved the idea of his songs being used as the basis for a west end musical entertaining audiences night after night and now that the show has been a hit right across the globe We Will Rock You tickets are in high demand as the show is one of the biggest stage successes of all time. Given the worldwide popularity of Queen this comes as no real suprise and acts as a legacy to the esteem that the band is held in.
The music in the show is of course important but We Will RockYou tickets wouldn't be in such high demand if the show didn't also have the 'wow' factor as well. If people were only interested in listening to Queen songs they could just as easily sit at home and listen to records or watch DVD's, thankfully the plot of the show with great writing from Ben Elton along with spectacular settings and scene changes complements the music perfectly making it a very enjoyable night out at the theatre even for people not fully aquainted with the Queen back catalogue.
Knowing the music of Queen however makes the evening an even greater thrill and gives audiences the opportunity to sing along with all of their favourite songs throughout the show. Part of the reason that there is so much demand for We Will Rock You tickets is that audiences know what they're getting before the the curtain goes up and can participate throughout the evening with a good old sing song!
Queen were at the top of their game for two decades in their original format and accrued a massive global fanbase but thanks to the We Will Rock You stage show they have now recruited a whole new generation of fans two decades after the tragic passing of Freddie Mercury.
There are many great west end show tickets to pick up but very few with the universal appeal of We Will Rock You tickets. This is because the show manages to combine a good storyline with some of the greatest rock anthems of all time. Whether you love musicals, queen or just enjoy a good night out, the We Will Rock You show at the Dominion Theatre in London delivers the goods, and if you manage to get your hands on discount tickets which can be available for midweek performances all the better!

We Will Rock You- The West End Experience
Queen are probably one of the most popular rock bands of all time with a back catalogue of songs that are instantly recognisable to the majority of people on the planet which gives extra appeal to the We Will Rock You stage show as fans of Queen young and old alike snap up tickets to enjoy a great singalong night out at the theatre. The fact that Queen songs have stood the test of time is probably why We Will Rock You tickets are still as popular today as they were back in 2002 as the public lap up the live experience of the cast blasting out their favourite hits from the legendary rock band.
The plot of the We Will Rock You London show blends in the Queen songs into a futuristic world where manufactured pop bands rule the roost and guitar and rock bands are outlawed. An underground movement exists though where this music can be enjoyed which gains enough momentum to eventually overthrow the evil 'Killer Queen'. Although the plot is a simple one designed to accommodate the vast array of Queen hits there is great writing from Ben Elton giving the show a humorous edge to it. It is this fusion between the music and storyline that has ensured the popularity of We Will Rock You tickets for nearly a decade and has attracted a loyal public that would perhaps not usually go to west end musicals.
The simple fact that the We Will Rock You show focuses around the music of Queen brings an entirely new audience to the west end as loyal Queen fans lap it up again and again coming from all around the world to see the show in its spiritual home of the Dominion Theatre and it would seem that even though We Will Rock You tickets can be bought for performances of the show in cities accross the globe as it has become an international franchise the London version seems to just go from strength to strength.
In fact the emergence of the We Will Rock you musical franchise has bred a brand new generation of Queen fans who maybe wouldn't have familiarised themselves with the band if the show hadn't opened which has perhaps given Queen a legacy that will last for decades to come.

We Will Rock You Vs Rock Of Ages
So will it be We Will Rock You or Rock Of Ages tickets that are the hottest draw on the London stage this summer? The London opening of Rock Of Ages will see a new show packed with 28 classic rock anthems from the 1980's including 'The Final Countdown', 'We're Not Gonna Take It' and 'Don't Stop Believing' to name but a few and covering a whole decade and appealing to the 30-50 age group which should pretty much guarantee a solid run in the west end.
We Will Rock You tickets although available now at discount prices are still a major draw and the show featuring the hits from supergroup Queen continues packing them in at the Dominion theatre and the shows popularity shows no sign of going away.
Of course there is very possibly room for both of these shows in the capital but with the arrival of Rock Of Ages the theatre going public now have another rock musical option which should eventually see fierce competition for tickets which should hopefully benefit the consumer.
We Will Rock You Vs Rock Of Ages? One thing is for sure, the air guitars are going to be put to good use this summer!
