  The
Fantasticks (Duchess Theatre, previews from 24th May 2010, press night 9
June)
Cole Kitchenn will general
manage the first ever West-End production of the acclaimed New York hit
musical The Fantasticks directed Amon Miyamoto (Tony Award
nominee for Pacific Overtures) at the Duchess Theatre from May
2010. Design by Rumi Matsui, Lighting by Rick Fisher (2009 Tony
Award Winner for Billy Elliott), casting by Irene Cotton.
The show's original New York production ran for a total of 42 years and
17,162 performances, making it the world's longest running musical and has
played in over 2000 cities. With music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics
by Tom Jones, the score includes the timeless classic 'Try to
Remember'. It is loosely based on the play The Romancers by Edmond
Rostand, concerning two fathers who put a wall between their houses to
ensure their children fall in love, because they know children always do
what their parents forbid.
Produced by Kumiko
Yoshii for Gorgeous Entertainment, John Gore and Thomas B Grath in
association with Nica Burns and Max Weitzenhoffer for Nimax Theatres, with
general management by Cole Kitchenn Ltd

About Bill (Summer 2010)
by Matthew Strachan & Bernie Gaughan, who wrote Next Door's
Baby most recently seen at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond. This one
woman show is actually about one man; Bill. Bill is the thread that
connects all the female characters in this one act musical. Some love him,
others hate him, but they are all moved by him. We never meet Bill
(perhaps we’re glad about this…) but we feel as if we know him. He
infuriates, he charms, he does the decent thing only to negate it with a
caddish gesture: he is a true artist, loyal only to himself and his gift.
Bill’s gift is his talent for playing the trumpet. He’s a jazz
man,transported by his music. He is the boy with a horn. And how.
Scheduled for production in 2010, About Bill promises to be hilarious,
touching, and the perfect showcase for the fabulous West End actress Kim
Ismay.
