First it was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, then it was a Spielberg-directed film, finally it became a musical! The 2015 revival of The Color Purple starred English StageFave Cynthia Erivo and our song of the week is the title track from the show, sung by Cynthia and the company...

Is there a bigger American TV tradition than Saturday Night Live!? The show not only brings the funny every week, it peppers in plenty of sketches for the Musical Theatre geek! It's been a few years now since this sketch, but we think it's as funny as ever. From the Phantom trying to run the meeting to Elphaba lamenting her narrow casting bracket, this is worth a watch for any musical geek!

A second Sondheim addition for our #StageFavesSongOfTheWeek list, this time with a little twist. The new production of COMPANY stars Rosalie Craig as the lead character, usually played by a man. We couldn't be more excited for this gender-swap version, but just in case you're feeling any trepidation about the change, allow us to put your mind at ease. Check out Rosalie absolutely nailing "Being Alive"...

It's absolutely one of the most iconic musicals of all time. SHOW BOAT, the 1927 musical about the lives of the performers, stagehands and dock workers on a Mississippi River show boat, was not only a huge success when it debuted, but changed the landscape of musical theatre forever! Our Song of the Week this week is the classic, "Old Man River"...

The Tina Fey movie sensation MEAN GIRLS is now a Tony-nominated Broadway smash. With all the wit of the original re-worked with an awesome modern pop-rock score, the show is one not to miss if you're heading over to America! Don't believe us? Check out this awesome performance of the song "Apex Predator" on the Today show...

Another Wednesday, another of our favourite HAMILTON videos! A couple of #HamiltonHumpDay's ago we shared the "Hamilton Polka", put together by the inimitable Weird Al Yankovic. We knew Lin-Manuel Miranda was super-psyched by it, and now all of the casts of Hamilton have been jamming out to the tune and released a video of all the fun...

In the lengthly process of creating a musical (one which sometimes takes decades!), there are always a few tunes that don't make the cut. It's a rare moment though, when we actually get to hear any of them! In a very special London performance, DREAMGIRLS creator Henry Krieger talks about the cut song "I'm The New Girl" and then performs it with West End Lorrell, Asmeret Ghebremichael.

We're super jealous that Broadway gets the awesome stage version of FROZEN but we don't and we definitely hope it'll be heading our way soon! Until it does though, we have to make do with the soundtrack and any video footage that comes our way. Luckily, the cast have been on TV a fair amount performing our fave songs. We Came across this performance of "For The First Time In Forever" on Good Morning America this May...

There's no denying HAMILTON has excited audiences this side of the Atlantic just as much as back home on Broadway. Our original West End Hamilton and Burr Jamael Westman and Giles Terera sat down to chat about what makes the show so special, the buzz of excitement they get from the audience and little moments they're still discovering months into the run...

We haven't stopped talking about COME FROM AWAY since it was announced that the show will be coming to the UK in early 2019 so it just felt right to choose a song of the week from this fab show! "Me and the Sky" tells the fantastic (and true!) tale of Beverley Bass, who led the first all-female crew in the history of commercial jet aviation. Performed here by Jenn Colella, marvel at the awesomeness of one woman, sung in the awesome voice of another...

Sure, Musicals can be tough, but making one up on the spot..? Surely that's impossible! Well no, because Pippa Evans and her buds at SHOWSTOPPER: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL do it all the time! Pippa is an improv Queen, but she also has a solo comedy career, and she stopped by the London Palladium to show us some of her more scripted work...

Is this his most ambitious one yet? James Corden returned to his native England to celebrate the classics of Andrew Lloyd Webber! And yes, he did make an appearance. Crosswalk Musical is a hilarious segment which takes famous musical theatre shows and condenses them into sections that last the time it takes to cross a road. There was an abundance of cats, a handful of fired children and a "cornucopia" of Lloyd Webber standards...

With some new faces in the cast, an Edinburgh Fringe run scheduled this August and a full West End run at the Arts Theatre to look forward to, the ladies of SIX are back and sassier than ever! Now, they've released a new video for the final song from the show, "six", so get ready to re-write history and call it HERstory. The wives of Henry VIII are ready to bring the noise...

That image of the cast high-kicking in a line has to be one of the most iconic in Musical Theatre, right? We couldn't have a Song Of The Week list without including this Marvin Hamlisch classic. SO get your sunglasses on because the amount of gold in this video is bordering on excessive! Our StageFaves Song Of The Week is "One" from A CHORUS LINE...

Time for some legendary Rock & Roll live on the London stage! The cast of BAT OUT OF HELL dropped by the London Palladium last year to wow the audience with 6 minutes of non-stop Meatloaf madness! So hope on your motorbike, ride that highway and get ready to have your face melted off with this weeks #PalladiumPick...

It's Wednesday and you know what that means...it's #HamiltonHumpDay! This week, take 7 minutes out of your busy day and listen to the vocal tones of RANGE A Cappella in their HAMILTON mash-up...

It's #HamiltonHumpDay! And this week we decided to choose one of our favourite ever #HamilDrop videos! Arianna Afsar, Shoba Narayan, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go and Julia Harriman joined together to record the beautiful, spine-tingling "First Burn". Watch the video, here and rejoice in just how awesome HAMILTON truly is...

It is without a doubt one of the biggest shows ever written. HAMILTON feels like it's been around for decades but that's not actually the case. It all started in 2009, when writer Lin-Manuel Miranda took a risk and performed a version of what is now the opening of the show at the White House Poetry Jam. This #HamiltonHumpDay, take a look at the moment the worldwide phenomenon was born...

Idina Menzel made it one of the most iconic Disney songs ever. Demi Lovato made it rock out. Now it's Caissie Levy's turn to immortalise the tune for Broadway. Disney have now released the official music video for the Broadway version of Let It Go from FROZEN...
