"Beautiful Thing" Back in London July 19-September 9 2006
To any of you planning a jaunt across the pond to London this summer, or locals looking for a night up in town, the award winning production of Jonathan Harvey's moving Coming of Age story Beautiful Thing reprises itself at the Sound Theatre in Wardour Street, Soho.
This is an excellent and intimate venue, formerly a nightclub and therefore with superb air conditioning, and has an open air bar downstairs. Usually showing gay-themed live theatre, and well worth frequenting.
I generally avoid the theatre during hot and crowded summer, but this is one exception to the rule.
The boys are back in town!
Leah loves Mama Cass. Ste loves football. Jamie is in love with Ste. During one long, hot summer in Thamesmead, three teenagers edge towards adulthood.
Jonathan Harvey's urban fairytale celebrates love on a South London council estate. After a sell-out January run, this sparkling production returns to Sound Theatre, Leicester Square for a limited run.
"Gay love story still packs a punch"
Evening Standard, Critics' Choice
"Just what the Sound Theatre needs to put itself on the map"
Time Out, Critics' Choice

Yes and Yes. Billy Elliot is still in production (until March 2007 for now). http://www.officiallondontheatre.co....ontentId/80718
