Footloose for Playhouse
Gareth Gates to star in UK Tour:
Gareth Gates is to star in the 2020 UK tour of Footloose The Musical, coming to the Playhouse in July and on to the Glasgow King’s in August.
American Idiot
★★★★☆ Rumpus rock
The tenth anniversary tour of Green Day’s American Idiot kicks up a storm – complete with an eye that isn’t so much calm as nurdling – as the Selladoor production arrives at the Playhouse for a week.
Summer Holiday
★★★★☆ Frothy:
It’s all froth and fun at the Playhouse this week, as Summer Holiday’s big red London double decker bus rumbles in for a spot of all-singing, all-dancing sixties entertainment.
Thoroughly Modern Millie
★★★☆☆ Not strictly brilliant:
Pop quiz. Hum a song from Thoroughly Modern Millie, which is at the Playhouse until Saturday. Aha, Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen’s title number. Very good. And?
Thoroughly Modern Tour
Collins, Clifton for Millie tour
