“I think the roars of approval at the end of the evening said it all. It was a cracking performance.”
“What an evening. The only place I expect to be made to cry is Covent Garden, but apparently not! They were wonderful. Such a beautiful voice from the lead, and a beautiful face to go with it”
La Boheme is directed by Laura Attridge, musically directed by Harry Sever and produced by Jane Gray.
Sung in English with a translation by Amanda Holden

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.
Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?
Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.
