Show Trailer - Quidam - At the Royal Albert Hall until 15 February 2009, Quidam is the latest show from Cirque du Soleil, containing all the elements the company has become famous for - astonishing acrobatics, awe-inspiring aerial acts, unique lighting, and elaborate set design. Here's a taster of what to expect.

Blast from the past � Glenn Close in Sunset Boulevard - With the Watermill revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard currently running in the West End's Comedy theatre, here's a clip of the original Broadway Norma Desmond, Glenn Close, singing �With One Look� - and with those eyes, you can't help but believe her!

Looking back at The Girlfriend Experience - One of the Off-West End hits of 2008 was Alecky Blythe's The Girlfriend Experience, a verbatim play set in a brothel that ran at the Royal Court Upstairs. Here, Alecky and cast members Debbie Chazen and Beatie Edney discuss the play and reveal a few secrets about the wonders of wearing PVC boots.

Clip from Hit Me! The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury - Currently at the Leiecester Square Theatre, (6 January to 14 February), Hit Me! The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury is billed as a �warts-and-all portrait of the man who put the phrase 'Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll' into the national psyche�. Here, Jud Charlton (who was controversially sacked from the show last week) performs the aforementioned song, which is featured in the show alongside hits including the iconic �Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick".
