Seussical The Musical in Southwark
The fantastic world of Dr. Seuss comes to life on the stage at Southwark Playhouse until 29th December. This larger than life musical extravaganza brimming with fun and excitement is for “thinkers” of all ages. Join the mischievous Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and a host of other much-loved characters on a magical, madcap adventure from the Jungle of Nool, to the Circus McGurkus, to the tiniest planet in the sky, Whoville. Co-created by Monty Python’s Eric Idle, this raucous and ultimately touching story by Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is a feel-good musical bonanza which dares us to think big.
Rumpelstiltskin on Southbank
Described as an absolute must-see, the UK premiere of the retelling of the beloved family fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin, comes to life at Queen Elizabeth Hall in the Southbank Centre. Reimagined with lashings of magical mayhem, rocking music and supreme silliness, this groundbreaking theatrical spectacle is anything but traditional. Underneath its lavish exterior lies to the moral of the show – a lesson for all on the price of greed and revenge, and how love triumphs over hate. Australia singer and cabaret legend Paul Capsis stars as a shape-shifting imp whose thirst for vengeance may well do him. This is the perfect show for a family seeking something delightfully different this winter. Only a very short bus ride from our Kennington office, drop in if you’re keen to find out more about properties to rent or properties to buy in the area.
Circus 1903 on Southbank
