How often do you get to see all your favourite West End stars performing under one roof? Almost never! But this October, a host of StageFaves are coming together for one night only at The London Cabaret Club in an all-star charity cabaret show in aid of "Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis". StageFaves such as Zizi Strallen, John Partridge and Matthew Croke have already been confirmed, along with loads more Wesn End names...

Very rarely does a show come along that receives unanimous praise and adulation, after all, appealing to the wide ranging tastes of both audience and critics is a tough ask. The National Theatre's production of FOLLIES however, is one of those shows! It's been ages since we've seen such glowing reviews pouring in from far and wide and it's great to see the Sondheim classic 1971 musical still feels as fresh as ever! You can't be a true musical theatre lover without a bit of Sondheim, and we reckon FOLLIES is the perfect way to clock in a few hours of one of the greatest American composers...We've rounded up the best reviews and features so you can get your FOLLIES fix all in one place!

Stephen Sondheim's FOLLIES makes its National Theatre debut in September, care of director Dominic Cooke. Who'll be joining Imelda Staunton, Philip Quast, Janie Dee and other previously announced principals in the 37-strong cast...

It's their time. The Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year Awards is a great annual event highlighting some of the best talent coming up through UK drama schools - and they're all singing Sondheim plus new music too. This year's gala will also be overseen by West End legends including Clive Rowe, Janie Dee, Julia McKenzie and Stiles & Drewe...

#StageFaves Kate Marlais and Alex Young don't just perform in musicals, they also write them. Our friends at Musical Theatre Review report on developments with their S&S Award-winning musical HERE, showcased with a cast of other #StageFaves...
