Closer to Heaven

 

Closer to Heaven, Turbine Theatre, 2024.

Cast: Frances Ruffelle, Glenn Adamson, Connor Carson, Courtney Bowman, Kurt Kansley, Lewis James, Beth Curnock, Jaime Tait, Cian Hughes, David Muscat.

Music & lyrics: Pet Shop Boys
Book: Jonathan Harvey
Director: Simon Hardwick

This is the third revival of this I've seen and I hope it won't be the last. Always a fun show, this worked well in the small theatre under the arches, getting really up close to the cast.

The theatre has since closed, with allegations against the man who ran it and yet I've seen his name appear on stuff since so goodness knows what happened there.
