The highly anticipated UK and European Premiere of Off-Broadway smash-hit comedy musical The Marvelous Wonderettes is being produced at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate Village, from 9 April until 12 May 2019, with Press Night on 11 April 2019 at 7.30pm.
Written and created by Roger Bean, the multi-award winning show opened in New York at the Waterside Theatre in 2008 to outstanding critical acclaim. It takes a cotton-candied musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School Prom, where we meet The Wonderettes: four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. The show follows their lives and loves from Prom Night to their 10-year Reunion.
This musical features over thirty hit songs from the 1950s and 1960s by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Neil Sedaka, Connie Francis and Dusty Springfield, including “Stupid Cupid”, “Son of a Preacher Man”, “I Only Wanna be with You”, “Secret Love”, “Lipstick on your Collar”, “Respect”, “Rescue Me”, “Dream Lover” and “Heatwave”.
Casting and Creative Team to be announced. The production is produced by Joseph Hodges Entertainment.
Tickets are now on sale from the Box Office at Upstairs at the Gatehouse on 020 8340 3488 or online at www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com. Performances run Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 4.00pm.
You can find The Marvelous Wonderettes on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @WonderettesLDN.
The May Music Hall Show features Tommy Parsons, Barbara Kealy, Sheila Miller, Martin Nail and Mike Francis, with Pamela Mundy in the Chair and Derek Marcus at the piano. We hope the audience will join in the choruses!
Peace and Resolution Solo exhibition by Katy Sayers Green
31 May – 13 June 2019
Highgate Gallery is delighted to host Katy Sayers Green’s ‘Peace and Resolution’, an exhibition of large mixed media paintings, alongside small scale relief sculpture. This work focuses on intractable conflict; from the personal to the political, using the conflict in the Middle East as the central focus and inspiration.
The emphasis is to explore through visual means routes to peace and resolution and hope for the future. Whilst focusing on this particular conflict, Katy also hopes that the resonances in the artwork are universal.
This body of work has been produced as a result of a two month sojourn in Israel in 2018: a summer programme at Hebrew University looking at the complexities of the region and possible paths to peace, followed by a ceramic art residency at the inspirational Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Centre in Tel Aviv. Katy is a painter with a strong interest in layers and 3-dimensional form; working with ceramics for the first time opened up wonderful new possibilities.
The visual language came about during the Tel Aviv Art Residency. Seeds and fruit and other natural produce of the region started appearing in her ceramic work. Seeds offer a promise of hope, of renewal, of something shared between the two peoples. This organic source material is very connected to the land and therefore to the identities of all those involved. Katy expresses visually the connection of both peoples to the land in a visceral way. This work could be described as a form of figurative abstraction.
Katy pressed porcelain into the seeds and fruit to create small-scale impressions, often fragile and transparent – like the seeds of hope themselves. On her return to the UK, she started thinking of the converse of this situation, by pressing and laying the seeds and fruit on to the canvas to make a reverse impression.
The narratives of the two peoples are entirely different and by approaching the project from the other side, in a literal sense, she replicates what is happening in this conflict in visual form. Perhaps, at the interface between these two sides is where peace and resolution can be found.
Katy has recently started an Art Instagram @katy_sayers_green where she is documenting her art practice in the run up to this exhibition.
There will be four accompanying events to this exhibition which are open to the public (see below).
The exhibition is supported by StandWithUs UK – https://standwithus.co.uk – an Israel education charity. The art collection is inspired by a love for Israel and a wish to creatively visualise what a just society for all its inhabitants might look like in the future.

Peace and Resolution. Solo exhibition by Katy Sayers Green. 31 May – 13 June 2019
Highgate Gallery is delighted to host Katy Sayers Green’s ‘Peace and Resolution’, an exhibition of large mixed media paintings, alongside small scale relief sculpture. This work focuses on intractable conflict; from the personal to the political, using the conflict in the Middle East as the central focus and inspiration.
The emphasis is to explore through visual means routes to peace and resolution and hope for the future. Whilst focusing on this particular conflict, Katy also hopes that the resonances in the artwork are universal.
This body of work has been produced as a result of a two month sojourn in Israel in 2018: a summer programme at Hebrew University looking at the complexities of the region and possible paths to peace, followed by a ceramic art residency at the inspirational Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Centre in Tel Aviv. Katy is a painter with a strong interest in layers and 3-dimensional form; working with ceramics for the first time opened up wonderful new possibilities.
The visual language came about during the Tel Aviv Art Residency. Seeds and fruit and other natural produce of the region started appearing in her ceramic work. Seeds offer a promise of hope, of renewal, of something shared between the two peoples. This organic source material is very connected to the land and therefore to the identities of all those involved. Katy expresses visually the connection of both peoples to the land in a visceral way. This work could be described as a form of figurative abstraction.
Katy pressed porcelain into the seeds and fruit to create small-scale impressions, often fragile and transparent – like the seeds of hope themselves. On her return to the UK, she started thinking of the converse of this situation, by pressing and laying the seeds and fruit on to the canvas to make a reverse impression.
The narratives of the two peoples are entirely different and by approaching the project from the other side, in a literal sense, she replicates what is happening in this conflict in visual form. Perhaps, at the interface between these two sides is where peace and resolution can be found.
Katy has recently started an Art Instagram @katy_sayers_green where she is documenting her art practice in the run up to this exhibition.
There will be four accompanying events to this exhibition which are open to the public (see below).
