VISITOR INFORMATION
Welcome to London
This year, I had the privilege of bringing Tim Rice and
Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical Jesus Christ Superstar to
The London Palladium for a sold-out summer season, led by the
remarkable Sam Ryder. If you missed it first time around, you're in luck.
This month the production returns to a new home at the magnificent
Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
One of the pleasures of this city is that no two nights at the
theatre are ever quite the same. A short walk away at the Criterion Theatre,
Titanique is now in its second year and starring the hilarious
Myra DuBois - if you're after laughs, there's nowhere better to be.
Looking further ahead, I'm excited for the return of The London
Palladium pantomime this Christmas, as we prepare to begin
rehearsals for Cinderella. Remaining tickets are limited, but it's well
worth picking one up to see French & Saunders reunited for the
first time in 17 years as the Ugly Sisters.
Autumn is the perfect time to visit London for a trip to the theatre, and I
hope your time here is full of special experiences with friends and family to
brighten up these darker evenings.
