The Boys in the Band, which premiered in 1968 just before the Stonewall riots, returns to London this Autumn.
This witty, dark American play which changed the landscape of gay theatre was adapted into a film in 1970 becoming a cult hit. The play was last revived in New York in 2010, and this UK revival will mark almost 20 years since the last West End production.

Harold, a self-confessed ‘Jew fairy’, receives a surprise birthday gift - a beautiful male hustler dubbed 'Cowboy'. Meanwhile, party host Michael gets an unwanted surprise of his own in the shape of a figure from his past. As the booze is drunk and the dope smoked, the mood swings from hilarity to heart-break.”

Two worlds collide when spirited Italian-American Jennifer Cavilleri and wealthy, privileged Harvard Alumni Oliver Barrett IV fall in love. The pair, whose backgrounds could not be more different, are united by love. It is a love that endures in the face of adversity, through family opposition to their marriage and devastating personal tragedy. This is their story. Love Story is inspired by Erich Segal’s best-selling novel and subsequent 1970’s smash-hit film. It is widely regarded as one of the most romantic and moving films of all time. This stage version by Stephen Clark features a brand new score by Howard Goodall CBE who has composed an entire body of choral music, music for television and musical theatre. An Emmy, Brit and BAFTA award-winner, Goodall’s musical with Melvyn Bragg, The Hired Man, was a huge success with audiences at the Octagon in 2010. Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd.

Sarcastic nineteen-year-old dropout and perpetual under-achiever, Flick Wimple, has always lived in the shadow of her caring but neurotic elder sister, Alice. Since their parents died in a car crash, Alice has had to become more of a mother to Flick - a responsibility that traps them both and heightens their love-hate relationship. Resigned to the way things are, Flick determines to expect nothing exceptional from life and give little in return. She is forced to re-evaluate, however, when one day she steps through the wrong doorway and finds herself trapped in the space between parallel worlds; the place known as The In-Between. There she is met by the mysterious, if slightly nerdy, Guide Calicus; a young man who has spent his entire life leading people between worlds. He offers Flick the chance to leave her problems behind and journey to another world and, as he leads her through the In-Between, the two begin to form a close bond, causing him to wonder what it would be like to live a life of his own. But all is not right in the In-Between; other Guides are starting to go missing and tears are appearing in the walls... Ultimately, Flick must make a choice; to hold on to her past, her sister and the world she knows, or risk everything to try and save much more... The In-Between is an original story of love, friendship and letting go, with both humour and heart. Daniel and various West End stars have recorded a concept album including 7 tracks.
You can hear the tracks online or buy the album on Itunes.
