The full cast for the West End run of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is announced today. And its stars - Gary Wilmot, Denise Welch, Simon Lipkin and Craig Mather, joining the previously announced Rufus Hound and Neil McDermott - gathered at the London Palladium for a very swish photoshoot (nice ones, Darren Bell!)...

Originally from New York, musical theatre star Chris Peluso made the trip across the pond to star in his West End debut as Chris in Miss Saigon. Now he's playing opposite a #StageFaves favourite in the UK tour of Funny Girl. Musical Theatre Review's Polly Sisley wondered what the draw of the UK was for him...

If the mere mention of A Slice of Saturday Night has you humming the title song and yearning for the Club-a-Go-Go (it does us), pay attention: the writers of that hit musical are back with a brand-new musical comedy which takes aim at evangelical television. We love it already! The title from the blasphemers? HOLY CRAP, of course...

Musical Theatre Review's Angela Thomas helps Joe McElderry announce his new studio album and UK wide concert tour, including some #StageFaves special guest appearances!

Grant McConvey sang 'Don't Look Down' to Stiles & Drewe prize-winning effect at the Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year competition two years ago. Now THE SUPERHERO, the one-man musical from which it hails, receives its world premiere at Southwark Playhouse. Who will star in the premiere production?

Randy American sailors Gabey, Chip and Ozzie - immortalised in the 1949 Hollywood film of Leonard Bernstein's classic musical ON THE TOWN - will be played in this summer's much-anticipated Open Air Theatre production by Strictly Come Dancing and Hollyoaks star Danny Mac, newcomer Fred Haig and Jeremy Taylor. It's the biggest dance production in the theatre's history, directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie. Full cast of #StageFaves now announced...

As a rule, we don't list child actors (unless their parents or agents make a special request), but we reckon many of the uber-talented young actor-musicians from SCHOOL OF ROCK will become professional adult #StageFaves in future. Auditions are coming up from 25 March for new classmates who'll get to hashtag #ImInTheBand...

Musical Theatre Review reports on the theatre event of the year and its newly announced host for 2017 - comedian, leading man and #StageFaves favourite, Jason Manford!

Musical Theatre Review reports on a great new initiative at Theatre Royal Stratford East - a new British musical theatre development scheme that's the first in a series of planned annual partnerships with organisations supporting musical theatre. That can only be good for #StageFaves performers too - more shows, more chances to see our faves in them!

While Gary Barlow and Tim Firth have been celebrating their Olivier nominations for THE GIRLS this week, preparations are already under way for their new Take That inspired musical THE BAND that's had casting help and a major publicity boost thanks to TV's Let It Shine. We've now loaded 'The Band' in THE BAND onto #StageFaves so you can #GetSocial for all five (even while they take a reported Twitter break!)... Check out the Let It Shine performers on Stage Faves whilst they're on a social media holiday during rehearsals. Keep on eye on us for developments!

Jack Wolfe makes his professional stage debut playing the titular Louis Braille opposite West End star Jerome Pradon in the world premiere of THE BRAILLE LEGACY at Charing Cross Theatre. Lots of other great #StageFaves in this cast too...
