I’m also excited to represent my First Nations community and the generations of storytellers that make me who I am as a performer.” The full Australian cast will be announced later this week, and the musical will play in Melbourne from 6 February to 9 April 2023. & Juliet has a book by Schitt’s Creek writer David West Read, and music by Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Max Martin.

New musical In Dreams to premiere at Leeds Playhouse
In Dreams, a new juke-box musical from the creators of & Juliet will premiere at Leeds Playhouse in 2023. The new musical will use the music of Roy Orbison to tell an original story about a female singer. The show reunites & Juliet script writer David West Read, who also wrote on TV series Schitt's Creek, and director Luke Sheppard. West Read said: "It is a tremendous honour to be premiering our new musical In Dreamsat Leeds Playhouse, which has developed a reputation for introducing innovative and inspirational work created by artists from around the world. "When I was growing up in Canada, the iconic music of Roy Orbison was playing on repeat in my household, and it has been a lifelong ambition of mine to build a contemporary musical around his classic songs. To bring this show to the Leeds audience, in this theatre, in this moment, is quite literally a dream come true." The show will explore love and loss “through an optimistic lens” he added, with an account of “friendship and the power of music to bring people together and help them through difficult times”. The idea of a biographical musical had been floated by West Read said he “didn’t want to see someone doing their best Roy Orbison impression” on stage. It is hoped audiences will find a new found appreciation of Roy Orbison's songs through this original show in the similar vein to Girl From The North Country which uses Bob Dylan's music. In Dreams will use about 20 songs from Orbison's catalogue with some played straight and others used to weave a fictional plot similar to musicals & Juliet and Mamma Mia! Casting has yet to be revealed. In Dreams will run from 1 July 2023 until 5 August 2023 at Leeds Playhouse.

Shaftesbury Theatre unveils next phase of development
The Shaftesbury Theatre in London, home of smash-hit musical & Juliet, has revealed the next phase in its redevelopment plans. The Grade 2 listed theatre has been undergoing an extension and improvement scheme, with architects Bennetts Associates, who worked on the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and The Old Vic, masterminding the works, The initial works were inspired by Camden Council planning to pedestrianise the circus and street outside the theatre, and has led to the Shaftesbury Theatre developing new spaces to increase the foyer size, create new bars and workspaces, and address accessibility and comfort in the auditorium. This month will see the next stage of the £10 million plus re-development start, which will include refashioning the auditorium to provide a separation between the Stalls and new spaces; a new 26 metre long "1911" Stalls bar, named to celebrate the year the theatre opened; the Taffner Suite for private hospitality, named in honour of successful US TV executive and former Chairman of the Shaftesbury's Theatre of Comedy, Don Taffner Sr.; plus lots of new toilets, re-foofing, a state-of-the-art air-con system, work on the historic ceilings, a lift, and more wheelchair spaces. Immediate work will focus on replacing the Stalls ladies' toilets, and refurbishing and enlarging the Circle bar - to be rename the "Bertie Crewe" after the theatre's original architect. The Grand Bar is also going to be renamed, to the "Melville", after the brothers who built the theatre in 1911 - which was originally called the New Princes Theatre. Finally, the Royal Circle is getting a new hospitality area called the "Ray Cooney" after the playwright and actor who found the Theatre of Comedy, owners of the theatre. Redecoration, carpeting and reseating in the auditorium is also planned, as well as putting a new main entrance in, and digital signage. The theatre is owned by Don Taffner Jr who became chairman in 2011, succeeding his father Don Taffner Sr. The Theatre of Comedy company has been led by James Williams since 2004.
