It started sweet, but hilariously took a turn for the silly as they dedicated the opening to Tony nominees past and present...who never actually won an award! Watch the full, hilarious opening here...

The Bristol Suspensions are a student group who post a bunch of videos on Facebook, and here is their parody of the Cell Block Tango from the all-time classic show, CHICAGO...

Saturday 8 July is the biggest day of the year for gay Londoners - it's Pride 2017! The theatre has long been a safe and welcoming space for LGBT+ people, and Musical Theatre in particular has been a home both LGBT+ performers, audiences and stories.

It's true, millenials get a bad rap. Each generation has a set of musicals that define them, but before Frozen hit our screens, or HAMILTON rapped its way into our hearts, movie musicals were the biggest blockbusters of all! In this video, a group of teenagers are shown classic clips from your favourite films and asked if they know where they come from. Were they masters of musical theatre, or tone-deaf to the true glory of the form..?
