The Barons Court Theatre

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

The Barons Court Theatre is one of the most popular fringe venues in West London, and continues to encourage new writing and emerging companies, as well as a range of classic and innovative works. This June, the Barons Court Theatre welcomes former glamour model and public eye celebrity Abi Titmuss to the stage in Dolly Daydream, a new musical by John Philips. Theatre tickets are currently on sale.

Dolly Daydream follows the aspirations of Dolly, a working class girl growing up in a Yorkshire mill town in 1939, as she dreams of being a dancer.

Abi Titmuss originally trained in London at the Central School of Speech and Drama. She also trained as a nurse during these early years; however Titmuss rose to fame following her career as a glamour model and regular appearances on reality television. Since pulling back from the public eye Titmuss has been busying herself on the London fringe and on tour, and her recent credits include Stage Fright (Canal Café Theatre), The Naked Truth, Up ‘n’ Under (Hull Truck national tour) and a Fringe Report Award winning performance in Arthur Miller’s Two Way Mirror.

Dolly Daydream opens on 8 June and will run at the West Kensington venue until 27 June 2010.

Mamma Mia!

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Hit ABBA musical Mamma Mia! continues its success on the West End, with theatre tickets flourishing as ever. New to the cast from 14th June is Harriet Thorpe, a regular face on the West End, taking over the role of the glamorous Tanya.

Thorpe has spent the last two years performing the role of Madame Morrible in top selling show Wicked. Prior to this she has been seen in fellow West End musicals Les Miserables and Cabaret. Roles in Absolutely Fabulous and The Brittas Empire have also made her a familiar face on screen.

Mamma Mia! is inspired by the chart topping Swedish group ABBA, and features a score taken entirely from their soundtrack, and composed by former members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The story centres on Donna, a former singer living in the Greek Islands with her daughter Sophie, who is soon to be married. Sophie’s father is absent; however she is desperate to have him give her away on her wedding day, so invites three of her mother’s former lovers to the island in the hope of discovering him. When Donna realises what has happened her heart is soon reawakened.

Thorpe replaces Jane Gurnett as the sophisticated, man-hungry Tanya, alongside cast members Linzi Hately (Donna) and Jessie May (Sophie). Also in the cast are Christopher Hollis, Paul Ryan, Catherine Russell and Norman Bowman.
