Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is a Fringe institution. We walk in the room expecting a good time, to be thoroughly entertained by the cast’s antics onstage. What happens in that room becomes the stuff of legends and inside jokes.
Bonnie and Clyde The Musical : Filmed Live
Not finished raising a little hell, Bonnie and Clyde is back once again with a live concert version filmed at the Royal Theatre Drury Lane in January 2022.

Every so often a show comes along that changes the face of musical theater. Jorge Rivera-Herrans’ Epic is such a musical. There are so many praises to sing, and even though only Act 1 has been released, it’s abundantly clear that this musical is very special. Act 1 of Epic is absolutely perfect, and Rivera-Herrans has woven together a really compelling re-telling of this myth. There’s just something about these songs that triggers some kind of dopamine receptor or rush that makes them absolutely intoxicating to listen to.
