The Big Question: Why are so many political memoirs published, and does anyone read them?- 11 hours ago
Funny Girl, Minerva Theatre, Chichester
<p>Can you do Funny Girl without Barbra Streisand? As Angus Jackson's supremely intelligent and sensitive production shows, the answer is yes, yes, and yes some more. Though Streisand's image is intimidatingly welded to the show that made her a star, that chilly egomaniac was never good casting as Fanny Brice, a performer so lovable, so nakedly vulnerable that not laughing at her jokes would have been like spitting in your mother's soup. </p> - 11 hours ago
Ballet Boyz Greatest Hits!, Sadler's Wells, London
<p>Over seven years, Ballet Boyz William Trevitt and Michael Nunn have built an adventurous company, focused on new work. Their range and ambition has been admirable. Characteristically, even this Greatest Hits! programme sneaks in a little new work, alongside a group of past successes.</p> - 1 day ago
Henry VI, Parts 1, 2 and 3<br />Richard III, Roundhouse, London
<p>The procession of bloodstained ghosts that began in Michael Boyd's previous tetralogy for the Royal Shakespeare Company grows in number and pace in this, and some of them are angry. The murdered Duke of Gloucester hovers over the deathbed of his old rival, Beaufort, and strings him up. The howling bishop rises heavenwards, trailing a crimson coverlet, his terror and agony suggesting that he is really going in the opposite direction. </p> - 1 day ago
Preview: Jane Eyre, Peacock Theatre, London
<p>The London Children's Ballet is set to bring Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece, Jane Eyre, to London's West End. This adaptation, performed by 54 rising stars between the ages of nine and 15, follows the young orphan Jane's bittersweet journey from her bleak time at the charity school, Lowood, through to her tender relationship with Mr Rochester.</p> - 1 day ago
The Ballet Boyz, Sadler's Wells, London<br/>Alina Cojocaru, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
<p>If you had to sum up the career of William Trevitt and Michael Nunn in a single word, audacity would do it. Ever since they dumped their safe, salaried jobs with the Royal Ballet, the duo have dared more and more. While it was fine and noble to want to take modern ballet to places such as Leicester and Aberdeen, it was hardly a new idea. It took their particular nerve to pull it off, lifting the mask to show audiences the gritty reality, the blood, sweat and blisters that go into putting new dance on stage. The risk was that exposure would kill the magic. In fact, it had the opposite effect. The self-deprecating video diaries threaded through the Ballet Boyz' live shows have made men want to be them, women want to marry them, mums want to mother them, and everyone love them to bits. </p> - 2 days ago
The 5-minute Interview: Helen McCrory, Actress
<p> <i>McCrory, 39, is best known for her theatre roles, in particular playing Rosalind in Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', for which she received an Olivier Award nomination. She has appeared in a number of high-profile films including 'Interview With A Vampire', 'The Queen' and – most recently – 'Flashbacks Of A Fool' alongside Daniel Craig. She is currently filming 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince', in which she plays Narcissa Malfoy and starring in the play Rosmersholm which opens at the Almeida Theatre on 15 May.</i> </p> - 3 days ago
Oxford Street, Royal Court, Jerwood Theatre Upstairs, London
<p>Levi David Addai's new play Oxford Street is dedicated "to all those who toil or have toiled in retail, particularly those who work on that mile-and-a-half high street in London W1". That sympathetic salute, like the lively detail of his mischievous, closely observed comedy, smacks of insider knowledge. It would be no surprise to learn that he has paid his dues temping in that neck of the woods.</p> - 4 days ago
You write the reviews: Jerry Herman's Broadway, Palladium, London
<p>This tribute to the composer and lyricist Jerry Herman includes highlights from his shows La Cage aux Folles, Dear World, Mack & Mabel, Mame and Hello, Dolly!. His first show, Milk and Honey, opened in 1961 and his subsequent productions have gone on to collect numerous Grammy and Tony awards. To celebrate this history of Broadway, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, under the directorship of Donald Pippin, Herman's long-time friend and a fellow Tony award winner, squeezed on to the stage of the London Palladium. </p> - 4 days ago
