Illustrator Andy Robinson's 'inky mission' is to see as many shows as possible and try to capture them within an ink drawing - which he does with extraordinary flair, each creation a real work of art in itself.

Were you in the sea of theatre fans on Day One of West End Live 2017 (24 June) in Trafalgar Square? How many of these incredible performances - including Aladdin, Dreamgirls, Kinky Boots, Half a Sixpence, Les Miserables, Wicked and a first London look at Everybody's Talking About Jamie - did you catch?

The mark of true #StageFaves is that not only are they great performers onstage, but that they are also great people offstage. So it is amazing to see how many performers have answered the call from Giles Terera and Danielle Tarento to join Songs and Solidarity on Sunday 25th June. Taking place at Trafalgar Studios 1 at 7.30pm, Songs and Solidarity is a West End fundraising gala evening of song, dance and comedy for the hundreds of families made homeless and the relatives of those who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire.
