It’s all singing and danc­ing this week at Cir­ca and BATS. (Just what I need to get me through my sec­ond to last week at work before the hol­i­days tbh.) Scar­let and Gold con­tin­ues at Cir­ca The­atre as does Roger Hall’s “Jack and The Beanstalk”. (My review of Scar­let and Gold here. I haven’t seen the pan­to but my friend gave it an infor­mal two thumbs up.)

At BATS The­atre tonight Binge Cul­ture presents Smells like Xmas and Alacrity Pro­duc­tions opens The Bet­ter Best Pos­si­ble Album Par­ty That Any­body Has Ever Been Two. Smells like Xmas promis­es to ‘dis­cov­er the true mean­ing of what the bloody hell Christ­mas bloody well even means any­way’. I’ve pre­viewed Album Par­ty and it looks like lots of fun. Tomor­row night Wan­der­lust Pro­duc­tions’ “unashamed­ly pop­ulist, uplift­ing and joy­ous cel­e­bra­tion of song” These are a few of my favourite sings opens. A pro­duc­tion that’s part biog­ra­phy, part self-help sem­i­nar but most­ly Julie Andrews’s great­est hits, writ­ten by Francesca Emms and per­formed by her sis­ter Geor­gia Jamieson Emms, the show draws on the sis­ters’ child­hood expe­ri­ences grow­ing up in a musi­cal fam­i­ly and their deep love for Julie Andrews and the char­ac­ters she por­trayed.

 

So if the office par­ty is not as fun as it could be you know where to go. Enjoy!
