THEATRE SISTER ACT: THE MUSICAL

- HUGH MONTGOMERY

It’s always a privilege to see David Tennant, below, back on stage, and his latest role should be a fitting test for his great talents: in this West End revival of the 1980s morality play, he will star as a seemingly ‘good’ man who becomes a Nazi. Harold Pinter Theatre, London, April 21 to July 17, haroldpint­ertheatre.co.uk

ANYTHING GOES

Musicals don’t get more joyous than this classic Cole Porter show set on a cruise liner, and this new production at London’s Barbican has a cracking headline duo lined up in Will and Grace star Megan Mullally and My Family’s Robert Lindsay. May 8 to August 22, barbican. org.uk

Say hallelujah, as Whoopi Goldberg herself will be starring in this stage adaptation of her hit 1990s film, with Jennifer Saunders as the Mother Superior. After a London run, it will go on a UK tour (though without Goldberg). Eventim Apollo, London, July 20 to August 29, then touring, sisteractt­hemusical.co.uk

DOCTOR WHO: TIME FRACTURE

Interactiv­e theatre doesn’t get more enticing than this new spin-off from the classic BBC sci-fi series, in which you will be transporte­d back to the Blitz to join the good Doctor in battling Daleks, Cybermen and evil Time Lords. Booking from April 21 to 13 March 2022, Immersive, London, immersive doctorwho. com

GET UP STAND UP! THE BOB MARLEY MUSICAL

After the brilliant Tina, here’s another biopic-musical to look forward to: starring Arinze Kené as Bob Marley, it will tell the story of how the Jamaican singer-songwriter (above) became an internatio­nal icon through his own songs. Booking from May 28 to December 2021, Lyric Theatre, London, nimaxtheat­res.com
