Welcome to Stage Host!
The Drifters Girl – London
Although there has been a trend in the West End and on Broadway to churn out juke box musicals for years, that isn’t necessarily a problem — as long as the juke box is full of hits, and the hits are well-performed. This show priveds both! THE DRIFTERS GIRL, currently running at the Garrick Theatre …
BAT OUT OF HELL – London

Whether by design, or just shear coincidence, it’s certainly a lucky break for the show that opened last night at New York’s St. James Theatre. Not …
