  • Noughts & Crosses, Evita & Backstage Interview with Sing Street Cast
    Jul 24 2025

    This week we’re diving into three incredible productions: the poignant Noughts & Crosses, the iconic Evita revival, and an exclusive backstage chat with the cast of Sing Street.


    Noughts & Crosses at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre


    Malorie Blackman’s best-selling novel Noughts & Crosses is revived for the stage in a brand-new production, bringing to life a bittersweet love story set against a divided world. Directed by Tinuke Craig, this powerful adaptation explores themes of racism, social division, and forbidden love, echoing the tragic romance of Romeo & Juliet. Callum and Sephy, childhood friends from different social backgrounds, must navigate a society that seeks to tear them apart. A must-see for fans of gripping, thought-provoking theatre.


    Evita in the West End


    Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary Evita returns to the West End in a reimagined version directed by Jamie Lloyd. With an iconic score that includes Don’t Cry for Me Argentina and You Must Love Me, this powerful musical tells the story of Eva Perón’s rise from poverty to power in Argentina. Starring Rachel Zegler as Eva, this production captures the ambition, passion, and contradictions of a woman who captured the nation’s heart and divided it at the same time. An emotional, electrifying performance that breathes new life into this timeless musical.


    Backstage Interview with Adam Hunter & Sheridan Townsley – Sing Street at Lyric Hammersmith


    Darren goes backstage at the Lyric Hammersmith to meet Adam Hunter and Sheridan Townsley, who play brothers in the smash-hit musical Sing Street. They share insights into their roles, the chemistry behind their performances, and what it’s like bringing this vibrant, music-filled coming-of-age story to life on stage. With catchy tunes and heartfelt performances, Sing Street is a show you won’t want to miss.
