The Ladykillers
Gielgud Theatre
Until Saturday 14 April
This classic Ealing Comedy – remade by the Coen brothers in 2004 – has been adapted for the stage by Graham Linehan, the writer behind Father Ted and The IT Crowd. This new version stars Peter Capaldi, best known as the hilariously apoplectic political aide Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It and In the Loop. Also starring are James Fleet, Ben Miller, Clive Rowe, Stephen Wight and Marcia Warren.

Rock of Ages
Shaftesbury Theatre
Until Saturday 20 October
Following the success of Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You, a host of 1980s power rockers get their chance to shine in Rock of Ages. The story of a small-town girl who falls in love with a big-city rocker, the main draw is the chance to indulge in timeless power ballads such as We Built This City by Starship, The Final Countdown by Europe and Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive.
One Man, Two Guvnors
Theatre Royal Haymarket
Friday 2 March until Saturday 15 September
James Corden triumphed as Smithy in Gavin and Stacey, and continues to impress in Richard Bean’s farcical interpretation of this 18th-century comedy by Carlo Goldini.
Understudy Owain Arthur will take over the lead when the play transfers from the Adelphi Theatre this spring.

Matilda the Musical
Cambridge Theatre
Until Sunday 21 October
A stage adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic, Matilda the Musical has been a huge success both with critics and theatregoers. The Royal Shakespeare Company joined forces with the multi-award winning musical comedian Tim Minchin to create this spirited production. Minchin and scriptwriter Dennis Kelly strike an assured balance between cartoonish, light-hearted comedy and darkly-edged satire to create a rebellious and witty show.
The adult cast features established talent such as comedian Paul Kaye, but the real delight is the charm and vocal range of the three young actresses who play Matilda.
Legally Blonde
Savoy Theatre
Until Saturday 7 April
This musical version of the hit film doesn’t take itself seriously, but the critics certainly do. Legally Blonde won three Olivier Awards in 2011, including Best Musical and Best Actress in a Musical for star Sheridan Smith.
Homecoming queen Elle Woods’ boyfriend dumps her for someone more serious, so she enrols at Harvard Law School to prove her academic nous is as unshakeable as her fashion sense. ‘This is frivolous fun that’s ideal for a girl’s night out,’ comments Emma.
Now with Carly Stenson in the lead role, the show will close in the West End this spring, so call us soon if you want to see it.
