Spiezak productions presents the first London revival of The Goodbye Girl. A musical from the writers of The Odd Couple, A Chorus Line and City of Angels.
Paula McFaden is an out of work dancer, the wrong side of thirty, who has watched too many men say goodbye. When hapless actor Elliot Garfield knocks on the door of her New York apartment, his dreams of stardom and her dreams of stability become a shared nightmare.
The Goodbye Girl is a wry, comic musical about letting go of your baggage and learning to love the unexpected. It is based on Neil Simon‘s Academy Award and Golden Globe award winning film and features the same unique humour that has made Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway History, fused with a vibrant, cinematic score that stands among Hamlisch‘s strongest work.

Have you ever seen someone buried alive in makeup?
You can see this man has scars. But they’re so far below the top layer, it would take an industrial sandblaster to even them out. And it’s easier to trowel on a few more inches of concealer.
Psychodermabrasion is a red raw tragicomedy about damage done beneath the skin. Live action fuses with recorded sound and projected image to create an offbeat musical monologue. Honest, audacious and bleakly comic, this is a show for anyone who looks in the mirror and can’t.
The eagerly-anticipated début from actor and musician Matthew Floyd Jones(Frisky & Mannish), in association with cult performance artist Dickie Beau.

A lively show full of fun, feathers, laughter and excitement and features original music and lots of audience participation!
The friendly bus driver leaves us with one simple instruction: “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus!” However, the Pigeon is very clever and whines, bribes, pleads and even sings a song to get his own way… BUT WILL YOU LET HIM DRIVE?
Recommended for ages 3 and above.
