The first we saw of Phoebe Waller-Bridge was playing a barrister in Broadchurch without knowing that she had won a Critics’ Circle award in 2013 as most promising playwright.
Our most read content of the year so far was shared by Sir Ian on his Facebook page and was a Shakespeare BFI Q&A with him in April. We’ve seen him many times filming Vicious at ITV Studios on the South Bank but never on stage in the theatre – until now and this Broadway transfer. Runs 8/9 to 17/12 at Wyndham’s Theatre. Picture via No Man’s Land. Tickets here.
WORTH A LOOK?: *****
WHEN?: Sky Atlantic 2/8 10.15pm
After two seasons featuring 18 episodes HBO pulled the plug on this drama about a group of gay men and their fag hag in San Francisco masterminded by 45 Years writer/director Andrew Haigh.
Sheri actually made her triumphant return last month but we’re seeing her in it for the 3rd time the day after the soundtrack is released 5/8. It won 2015’s monstas for best musical and actress. Picture via Facebook courtesy Funny Girl UK. Tickets.
Super is our album of the year so far and the Boys’ only 2016 UK dates are during their four-date Inner Sanctum residency at the Royal Opera House. We saw Rufus Wainwright there a while back and it’s a venue Neil and Chris were born to play. Tickets have sold out but we’d check here for returns.
WHEN?: 12/6
WHERE: Beacon Theatre, New York
James Corden hosts the 70th annual Tony Awards, where Broadway recognises its finest, in New York 12/6.
We awarded 11 monstas for the best pop, theatre, TV and film of 2015 – and here we look at the cream of 2016 so far and what’s to come.
We awarded our first monstas for 2015’s best pop, theatre, TV and film and below we review the best of 2016 so far – and look forward to what the rest of the year has in store.
Last year we awarded our first monstas to the best pop, theatre, film and TV of 2015 in 11 categories.
Just 1 of the reasons why we started this blog. So much to look forward to in 2016: John Grant, Fatboy Slim, Cyndi Lauper, Aluna George, Adele, Coldplay, Disclosure, New Order, Grimes, Roisin Murphy, Years and Years, Jake Bugg and St Etienne, we’re looking at you for starters. And that’s just the main stages. Our annual fix will also feature the delights from the rest including Will Young, The Feeling and Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs. An opportunity to say goodbye also to Bowie and Prince.
