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!
