It’s been hard keeping this one under our hats, but we’re very excited to announce that Jason Manford will be back once again to host the Olivier Awards 2020 with Mastercard. But enough from us, you can hear it from the man himself below!

The Olivier Awards 2020 will take place on Sunday 5 April at the Royal Albert Hall. Public tickets go on sale on Friday 24 January exclusively to Mastercard cardholders so keep your eyes peeled on our social media and on priceless.com to grab yours!

To celebrate their first West End birthday, Six has announced today that they’ll be Divorced, Beheaded, Live in London for ages to come! Tickets go on sale today for new dates at the Arts Theatre all the way to 31 January 2021.

The current West End Queens are Jarneia Richard-Noel as Catherine of Aragon, Courtney Bowman as Anne Boleyn, Natalie Paris as Jane Seymour, Alexia McIntosh as Anna of Cleves,  and Danielle Steers as Catherine Parr. And we can’t wait to see Sophie Isaacs – of Heathers fame – step into the spotlight and don Katherine Howard’s crown for the first time next Tuesday.

So whether you’ve not yet made it to this cult pop musical phenomenon, or you’ve got a hankering to see the new cast belt out the songs  you know and love, you can grab your tickets through the link below!

Ahead of opening night next week, we got a sneak peek at the production photos for Uncle Vanya and the set and costume look absolutely incredible. Designed by Rae Smith, the Harold Pinter’s stage has been completely transformed into the crumbling countryside house that becomes the setting for an increasingly complicated and hostile family reunion. We can’t wait to see it in the flesh!
