London's West End

The latest edition of our sister print title What’s On Stage Magazine is out now, available in 35 participating London theatres as well as selected hotels, restaurants and tourist bureaux.

Amongst the great features on offer in the March 2009 issue are:

  • THE BOYS FROM OZ – As Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical rolls into the West End this week, Jason Donovan, Tony Sheldon and director Simon Williams drag Roger Foss on board the bus from Down Under.

  • DENCH DOES MISHIMA – Judi Dench is starring in Yukio Mishima’s Madame de Sade at Wyndham’s Theatre, but who was Mishima? The Japanese play’s translator Donald Keene explains.

  • WHEN THE GENES FIT – Michael Coveney finds dramatic connections between sibling actors, including Harry and Luke Treadaway in Over There and Niamh Cusack in Dancing at Lughnasa. (A version of this article is also on the main website – click here to read…)
  • YOUR CHOICE, YOUR WINNERS – News and pictures from this year’s Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers’ Choice Awards concert, plus a full list of the winners.

    We’ve also got all of your favourite regular magazine sections, including Headliners (a round-up of top news), Up for Grabs competitions, Limelight pictures, this month’s What’s On Guide diary and listings, Brief Encounter (with Skins’ star Nicholas Hoult, who makes his West End debut this month in New Boy), Recommended (theatregoer raves about recent openings) and, last but not least, Critical Comment, in which our columnist, Guardian critic Michael Billington, recalls his long love affair with the Royal Court.
