The amazing "Return to the Forbidden Planet" opened in London's West End on Monday 18th September 1989, and I was there during the preview week! It was immediately apparent that this show would be a great hit and won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical of 1990, beating 'Miss Saigon', 'Buddy' and 'Aspects of Love'. Productions of the show have been staged in countries as far afield as the USA, Japan, Germany, Berlin, Sweden, Norway, Alaska, Indonesia and Australia. The show may still be on UK tour, last time I caught it there were changes throughout the production, including new songs, new jokes, new special effects and new cast members. As usual these changes have enhanced the show to bring new heights of entertainment! If you are able to find their official web site please let me know. If the show arrives locally that would be a good time to find their web site. Use the e-mail address at the bottom of the page, many thanks for your help!

A new stage show appeared all too briefly in the West End, "Saucy Jack & the Space Vixens". As with many shows of this style of production, it took a while to 'get into' the swing of the show. However, by the interval the theatre was really rocking. The plot is pretty basic, but the ideas are innovative and the songs are great and addictive. The show left the West End to play in New York for a while. This 'production' has now opened as a night club near London Bridge, checkout the web site for more details.

"The New Rocky Horror Show" UK tour is currently taking a break until 2002. There is currently a European tour, full details available on the above web site. A US version is also running in New York on Broadway. Check out the official web site for all the latest gossip!
