WICKED stars Oliver Savile and Jodie Steele join a host of West End favourites who appear on a new EP of musical theatre ballads by songwriter Oliver Boito called "Notes Of Love".

Musicals dominated the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards in a ceremony held today at the West End's Prince of Wales Theatre (and organised by none other than Faves founder Terri Paddock). Full list of musical winners here. And have you seen our live-tweeting from the event itself?

Another Monday means another #StageFavesSongOfTheWeek! With the recent announcement that FAME will be heading back out on tour to celebrate its 30th anniversary, we thought, what better way to celebrate than to dance around the office in leg warmers and 80s neon to "Remember My Name"..?

The news is out that Star Wars legend Mark Hamill will be the voice of ‘Kevin The Robot’ in Eugenius! The Musical which has its gala night on 31 January at The Other Palace.

Our #PalladiumPicks of the week is...42nd Street! The talented toe-tappers stopped by the London Palladium last year to treat the audience to an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza!

Hayden Tee is probably best known to theatregoers from LES MISERABLES, in which he has starred as Javert in the West End and on Broadway. What you might not know is that he's a seasoned make-up artist with years of experience all over the world. Last year he released a cover of '7 years' by Danish soul-pop band Lukas Graham, and in the video, he uses his make-up mastery to transform into a 60-year-old over the course of the song...

We knew that Michael Ball and Alfie Boe were popular but consider us mightily impressed that they have now reached combined sales of over 1 million for their albums Together and Together Again! Well done to both of them, and to all of you #StageFaves lovers for keeping musical theatre stars at the top of the charts!

Did you see Arlene Phillips and Sam Cassidy's rock musical 27 at the Cockpit Theatre in 2016? Well, now it's time to see it in its next stage of development as MYTH: THE RISE & FALL OF ORPHEUS with a series of workshopping concert performances this March at The Other Palace...

WICKED has announced the opening of its (wait for it!) 25th new booking period. Over 500,000 new tickets for the smash-hit, telling the untold story of the witches of Oz, are now being released, with booking extended to Saturday 24 May 2019. (And by the way, we love this romantic pic of current Glinda and Fiyero, Sophie Evans and Bradley Jaden.)

It's time for our song of the week and we thought, with the UK premiere of ROTHSCHILD & SONS just around the corner, why not revisit the Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock back catalogue for a classic gem...and boy did we find one! Your third #StageFavesSongOfTheWeek is..."Matchmaker" from FIDLER ON THE ROOF.

It may have closed its run this month with a BANG (get it..?) but STOMP will forever hold a special place in our hearts. This week, in our second #PalladiumPicks segment, we decided to remember the jawdropping performance at the Palladium London, celebrating 25 years of the show.

Jon Carlton will reprise his title performance in PIPPIN, alongside Genevieve Nicole as The Leading Player, when Jonathan O'Boyle's acclaimed revival transfers from Manchester's Hope Mill Theatre to London's Southwark Playhouse next month. Who are the other players? Full casting now announced.

It's been a few weeks since BANANAMAN flew into the Southwark Playhouse to fill you with laughter and potassium. Listen to "Every Great Cliche" where Mark Newnham's Eric Wimp and Jodie Jacobs' crow set their sights on saving the day. Check out the awesome clip, get inspired, and marvel at Jodie's epic puppetry skills!

Want to know what's in store for musical theatre in 2018? Well look no further. Our friends at Musical Theatre Review have put together a month by month run-down of what to look forward to this year. Whether it's the next West End sensation, a cult classic playing on the fringe or a show that's touring near you, they've got you sorted!

Our friends north of the border are always a lot of fun, but those Scottish lads and lassies are a talented bunch too! After a hugely successful one-night-only show at the Arts Theatre on St Andrews Day in November, Scots In The City - aka #StageFaves Kieran Brown and Shona White - returns for a Burns Night special at The Other Palace...

Tonight at the London Palladium has long been a British television tradition and this classic show has championed musical theatre from the beginning. Now it's a new year, StageFaves are launching a host of new segments and we decided that #PalladiumPicks would be one of our first! For our first #PalladiumPick, we decided to start 2018 off with one of 2017's best-loved West End shows...HALF A SIXPENCE.

We may not need another hero but TINA The Musical does need someone to play the role of Anna Mae, the 11 year-old Tina Turner, along with the adult cast of the musical. So if you are a black and mixed race girl between the ages of 9 – 12 years old, under 4’ 10” with good acting skills and a fantastic singing voice and you think you're simply the best...then now is your chance!

The hype is STRONG with this one! SIX - the pop musical about the six wives of Henry VIII - has exploded onto London's West End and the five shows at the Arts Theatre are now completely sold out. SO, the lovely ladies have added another, final date to their run, bringing the total to, yup...six!
