There's no watery fog in these rehearsal images from Queen of the Mist, just reams of sheet music, plenty of cases, the odd juggling ball and a host of performers, which all makes us very intrigued about the UK premiere that comes to the Jack Studio Theatre from 9 to 27 April 2019. Take a look, then book your tickets!

Marc Pickering's Doctor Gloom has a "really rather evil plan" in BANANAMAN - and he lays it out brilliantly in "Call to Action", the first song release from the comic book page-to-stage premiere, staring this month at London's Southwark Playhouse.

Oh we do love a good throwback, and what better way to relive cool memories than tweeting a picture to all your followers!? It's Thursday today, so we decided we'd take a look through the #TBT hashtag and mine your StageFaves past tweets to give them yet another chance to remember the good ol' days of...last week...or 2003...or in one instance, 1952...

The National Theatre's highly anticipated production of FOLLIES is in its previews and already the response from audiences is tremendous! We're so excited for it to officially open that we thought we'd share this behind-the-scenes video of the stars during their photo shoot. We thought it might calm us down a bit as we await 5 September, but if we're honest it's just made us even more impatient...

Here's a #StageFaves question for you - can you guess how many toilets are inside the Dominion Theatre? And how much it might cost to refurbish them all? Well, £6 million goes a long way towards sprucing all 95 of them. And in addition, they've also added the West End's largest and swankiest double-sided LED screen onto the facade alongside a host of other improvements.

Disney knows a thing or two about getting people talking - and sharing. We loved their use of social media at West End Live this year. In the Disney hut, fans were encouraged to get pics of themselves with props and costumes from Disney's two current West End hits, ALADDIN and THE LION KING, both of which performed at this weekend's festival....

We took an awful lot of photos ourselves at West End Live this year, and we looked at thousands more over the weekend.

Check out some of his Twitter collections of your #StageFaves below...

#StageFave Gerard McCarthy stars as Dave the Cat in the upcoming one-man show, Cat (The Play!!!) at the West End's Ambassadors Theatre for two nights only next week.
