If you are missing Percy Jackson terribly during the hiatus between the first and second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, I’ve got good news for you: you can revisit the story by experiencing it on stage. The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical has just opened at The Other Palace in London, and it’s a show that all Percy fans deserve to see at least once.

Written by Joe Tracz and Rob Rokicki and based on the first novel in the Percy Jackson book series by Rick Riordan, the musical originally opened off-Broadway in 2017, then toured the United States and had a Broadway run in 2019 and 2020.

The National Theatre Live’s stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove” is headed to global cinema screens on March 27, 2025, following its London West End run.

The production features Steve Coogan, a seven-time BAFTA winner, performing multiple roles including Dr. Strangelove, President Merkin Muffley, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and Major T.J. Kong.

The theatrical version of Kubrick’s 1964 nuclear satire comes from the creative team of Emmy winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award recipient Sean Foley. The production marks a significant reimagining of the comedy masterpiece about a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear attack.

The ensemble cast features Giles Terera as General Buck Turgisdon, John Hopkins as General Jack D. Ripper, Oliver Alvin-Wilson as Jefferson, and Ben Turner as Colonel Bat Guano.

A film that first caught Dn’s attention as a selection in our 2021 Top Ten Picks from The Shortest Night, Tap Boy from filmmaker Will Kenning originated from a desire to explore gang culture and violence from a perspective that avoided clichés and offered a fresher, more nuanced perspective. Having previously worked with Keenan Munn-Francis on a very different style of project, Kenning was inspired to write his arresting dive into the exploitative practice of cuckooing as part of a County Lines operation specifically for the actor/dancer. With that initial spark ignited, a deep dive into the history of tap dance and its use as a form of rebellion against oppressors, brought the whole script together and saw Kenning selected for the 2020 Challenge Alexa scheme which, alongside the use of Arri gear, gave the project the momentum and accountability it needed to make it across the finish line.
