Love London Love Culture’s Theatre Picks for December
Here’s Love London Love Culture’s guide to some of the best shows opening in December.
REVIEW ROUND-UP: Light in the Piazza at the Royal Festival Hall
Love London Love Culture rounds up the reviews for the UK premiere of Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas’ musical Light in the Piazza.
‘A sumptuous treat for the eyes & ears’: THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA – Royal Festival Hall – ★★★★★
The marvellously swooping score by Adam Guettel for The Light In The Piazza whisks you away from the opening moment and enthrals you in the beauty and magic of this delicate Italian love story.
‘Lovely to look at’: THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA – Royal Festival Hall
The most lyrical and romantic thing about Light In The Piazza is its title. That, and the luscious vintage-style 50s costumes which evoke the American idyll of Italy as captured by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.
NEWS: Rob Houchen & Celinde Schoenmaker join the cast of The Light in the Piazza London premiere at the South Bank
Joining Renée Fleming and Dove Cameron in the London debut of the acclaimed Broadway musical The Light in the Piazza at London’s Royal Festival Hall will be Rob Houchen, Celinde Schoenmaker, Liam Tamne, Malcolm Sinclair and Olivier-nominated international soprano Marie McLaughlin.
‘As thrilling as it is beautiful to watch’: CIRCUS 1903 – Royal Festival Hall ★★★★★
Thanks to films such as Water for Elephants and more recently The Greatest Showman, there is an irresistible appeal for the traditional circuses from around the 1900’s. Now thanks to Circus 1903, there is a great opportunity to revisit the golden age of circus.
NEWS: Renee Fleming & Dove Cameron will star in the London premiere of Broadway musical The Light in the Piazza
In the summer of 2019 much-acclaimed opera singer and soprano Renée Fleming and film and TV actress Dove Cameron will star in the London premiere production of Craig Lucas and Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical The Light in the Piazza, directed by Daniel Evans.
‘The bar has once again been raised’: Backbone – Royal Festival Hall ★★★★
The Australian circus troupe Gravity & Other Myths presents a clever and slick show that highlights the strength and the importance of the backbone.
‘Entertaining & satisfying tribute’: THE BEST OF JAMES BOND – Royal Festival Hall
The structure of The Best of James Bond is simple but effective, taking each film in turn, with the occasional digression into the wider cultural context, which makes for an entertaining and satisfying tribute to the continuing influence of the franchise.
‘Beautifully moving concert’: SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM – Royal Festival Hall ★★★★
I left the Royal Festival Hall, after seeing Sondheim On Sondheim, in awe of the performers, in love with Sondheim’s music and connected to him as a person.
‘It’s all so damn miserable’: SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW – Royal Festival Hall ★★
When a family-friendly Christmas clown show seems more akin to Waiting For Godot rather than an act from a big top, three-ring circus, something’s gone wrong.
LIMITS (Cirkus Cirkör) – Royal Festival Hall
This rather sombre circus show looks at immigration and the reasons behind it as well as why we should all come together and support each other.
ASSISTED SUICIDE: THE MUSICAL – Royal Festival Hall
It’s uncomfortable to watch a play that conflicts with your politics or world view, and Liz Carr’s Assisted Suicide: The Musical does just that. The gay actor and comedian aligns with cuddly liberal ideology other than her avowed opposition to legalising assisted suicide in the UK.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET – Royal Festival Hall & touring
Million Dollar Quartet offers up some of the finest cuts of vintage rockabilly and rock n roll procured from some of the most legendary names in the history of music.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET – Royal Festival Hall & touring
In 1956 four young men on the brink of stardom had an impromptu jam session at the now legendary Sun Studios under the watchful eye of Sam Phillips, the man who created Rock’n’Roll.
