Dance & Physical Musicals Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 13 May: My First Ballet – Cinderella, Tatterdemalion, Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 6 May 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
My First Ballet – Cinderella | New Wimbledon Theatre | 13-14 May
Well, classical dance isn’t for everyone, but your child might grow up to love it, if you give them a great introduction to it at an early age. This show offers just such an introduction, using a shortened version of the Provokiev score and a narrator to help young audiences follow the (albeit familiar) story of Cinderella. See this page here for info and to book.
Tatterdemalion | Wilton’s Music Hall | 11-13 May (pictured)
You’ll remember that yesterday we belatedly tipped the new Boris & Sergey show at Wilton’s Music Hall. Now I’m going to belatedly tip Flabbergast Theatre’s other show appearing there this week, ‘Tatterdemalion’. Today is your last chance, so I hope you take it. We’ve had two reviewers adore this show, and that’s no surprise, given the company’s record of success. Brilliant, absurd, hilarious – physical comedy at its finest. See the venue website here for details.
Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer | Camden People’s Theatre | 13-14 May
“David is leaving London, he’s going back home to Glasgow, but before he moves he’s organised one last meeting of the ‘Queen Mother Remembrance Society’ AKA a group-sex party for like-minded Royalists.” This site specific performance, part of CPT’s Hotbed Festival, promises to be an unforgettable musical comedy, and sex/drugs/body-positive to boot.
