Three To See on 1 Apr: Jack And The Beans Talk, Lucy McCormick – Triple Threat, The Life
By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 25 March 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Jack And The Beans Talk | Polka Theatre | 1-2 Apr
I love what they did with the title, it’s very me. I appreciate that am not the target market, no matter how hard I try to never age, but I reckon you and your offspring will probably appreciate it at least a quarter as much as I did. This is only for pre-school types (age guidance is 3-5) and seems to be a very charming-looking adaptation of the classic tale. Click here for info.
Lucy McCormick – Triple Threat | Soho Theatre | 28 Mar-22 Apr
Our reviewer up in Edinburgh was completely, entirely, beautifully blown away by this dark and funny show, and we weren’t the only publication to consider it to be a pretty much unmissable. It’s a subversive comedy cabaret performance hinging on the retelling of the new testament in three acts, with all the main characters played by Lucy McCormick. See the venue website here for info.
The Life | Southwark Theatre | 25 Mar-29 Apr
This surprisingly not-as-well-known-as-it-should-be musical by Cy Coleman and Ira Gasman gets a first UK airing, and probably about time too: the original 1997 Broadway production received 12 Tony nominations and won two, and plus 9 Drama Desk Award nominations, of which it won three, including Best Musical. It’s set in New York in the eighties, and focuses on the darker side of life in the Big Apple. See this page here for details.
