Rock of Ages, whose cast treated us to a couple of songs, comes to the Churchill as part of its UK tour. The acclaimed West End Jukebox musical is on from 20-22 September.

A musical adaptation of Dreamwork’s Madagascar (which Carole L reviewed during its New Wimbledon Theatre run) makes its way to Bromley starring 2016’s X Factor winner Matt Terry as Alex the Lion between 25-29 September

 

Churchill Theatre has also co-produced with Music and Lyrics a new adaptation of Doctor Dolittle starring Mark Williams (Fast Show, Harry Potter) with Vicky Entwistle (Coronation Street, Ackley Bridge, Les Misérables) as his trusty side-kick Polynesia, with Brian Capron (Coronation Street, Grange Hill, Where The Heart Is) playing both the vivacious Albert Blossom and the mighty Straight Arrow.

 

We were also treated to a dress rehearsal of Flashdance, starring Joanne Clifton and Ben Adams, which opens to tonight (15 August)

The autumn season is promising, showing Churchill Theatre’s range as a community space but also as a touring venue that can compete with the likes of New Wimbledon and Richmond. I hope you are looking forward to this as much as I am
