Brief Encounter at the Royal Exchange!

Don't Miss Out on Sarah Frankcom's Brief Encounter

Royal Exchange Theatre royalexchange@mail.royalexchange.co
I've been fortunate enough to see several of Emma Rice's interpretations of |Noel Coward's work since it was first launched
but never completely in-the-round. It will be intriguing to see what the excellent Sarah Frankcom brings to the Royal Exchange.

REVIEW of EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE AT THE LOWRY

Image
  EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE  AT THE LOWRY. Review by Natalie Anglesey   Yes indeed. Everybody is STILL Talking About Jamie, the hit musical which was warmly welcomed back to The Lowry last night. During its first visit the role of Jamie was played by Manchester's Layton Williams, who is soon to be seen on Strictly. Now there's a charismatic new star in the title role and when Ivano Turco is on stage it's difficult to notice anyone else. This new production will run at The Lowry from 7-17 th September launching its 2023-24 tour.   This critically acclaimed musical, brought standing ovations when it first arrived at The Lowry and has since proved a smash hit wherever it’s performed. Now, on its return, following a record-breaking three-year West End residency, a sold out UK & Ireland Tour and the Amazon studios award-winning film, the packed house responded equally enthusiastically. We are often told that sixteen is the age when all possibilities are within

  Twelve Angry Men The Lowry, Salford Review by Natalie Anglesey   Following previous record-breaking West End seasons, and a critically acclaimed tour in 2023, Bill Kenwright Ltd’s powerful production of  Twelve Angry Men  is at  The Lowry  this week until   2 nd  March 2024. Ever since the powerful fifties film starring Henry Fonda, which was nominated three times for Academy Awards, and since then, several stage productions over the years, this splendid court-room drama has never failed to impress me. Now there’s the chance for you to see Reginald Rose’s knife-edge courtroom drama at The Lowry all this week. The cast is now headed by  Jason Merrells  ( Casualty, Emmerdale )  taking over the role of Juror 8 from Patrick Duffy for the 2024 tour. He subtly holds  the whole production together. The cast also includes   Tristan Gemmill  ( Coronation Street, Casualty ),   Michael Greco  (EastEnders,   The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.) BenNealon  ( Soldier,Soldierand  Doctors)

The Osmonds - A New Musical next year!

The Osmond's new musical is coming to Manchester!  M y best friend was an avid Osmond fan in her teens and she still is. Personally I've had the pleasure of interviewing Donny Osmond for @BBCRadioManchester and I also became a fan!  It's that kind of unfailing dedication that the Osmonds have held on to over the past 50 plus years.Now Osmondmania is returning to Manchester with a musical by Jay Osmond which tells the story of the brothers from Utah who were in the spotlight as children and went on to sell over 100 million records gaining a huge army of fans. From their star residency on The  Andy Williams  Show, to the arrival of Donny and Marie, The Osmonds lived a remarkable life recording chart topping albums, selling out vast arena concerts and making record breaking TV shows - until one bad decision cost them everything. Directed by  Shaun Kerrison  and choreographed by Olivier Award winning  Bill Deamer , this brand new musical features a chart topping list of anthe
