WORTH A LOOK?: ****

WHEN: 28/1 runs to 29/4
We’re sat in the dark at the end of the third row in the second half of this Broadway transfer and suddenly become aware that audience members around us are crying.
WORTH A LOOK?: **
WHERE: King’s Cross Theatre
WHEN: 27/10, runs to 22/1/17
The original cast recording of this show already sits at number 8 in this week’s midweek album charts as we take our seats for this third preview in a new temporary 800-seat King’s Cross Theatre venue.
WHERE: BFI
WHEN: 18/9
We’ve just watched 1976 Bowie film The Man Who Fell To Earth when Michael C. Hall, the star of his new musical Lazarus, appears on the BFI stage for a Q&A.
This 18-song David Bowie musical ran off Broadway for three months from November 2015 and features hits including Life On Mars?, Heroes and Absolute Beginners. It was written by Bowie with Once author Enda Walsh. Starring Dexter’s Michael C. Hall and directed by Ivo van Hove, it runs 25/10 – 22/1 at the King’s Cross Theatre and seems a fitting salute to the star who died 10 days before curtain down on the US show. Tickets.
