++WATCH OUT FOR++

Luke Bayer, Matt Croke (pictured), Jordan Luke Gage, Layton Williams, aimie atkinson, Lucie Jones, Grace Mouat and Nicole raquel Dennis, who will be taking the Turbine Theatre’s concert version of tribal love rock musical Hair to the London Palladium for two performances on November 16. Celebrated director and choreographer arlene Phillips, with producer Paul Taylor-Mills, put on an outdoor production of the show, by Gerome ragni and James rado, last month at the Turbine in Battersea, South London. Taylor-Mills, the Turbine’s artistic director, told me that due to the pandemic, it was felt it would not be appropriate for the cast to appear nude. But he added: ‘Layton Williams said he’d been practising taking his clothes off in the mirror at home, so I’m not entirely sure now that there won’t be disrobing!’ Tickets available from the LW Theatres website now.

JODIE PRENGER, who has written the Turbine’s naughty panto Cinderella: The Socially Distanced Ball, with Neil Hurst. Lizzy Conolly will direct Prenger’s Christmas treat at the venue from November 26 to December 23, using sociallydistanced bubbles. Oscar ConlonMorrey and Scott Paige will play the Ugly Sisters, Rufus Hound is Buttons, Debbie Kurup Prince Charming; Sean Parkins is the fairy, and Daisy Wood-Davis Cinderella. Prenger wrote the show for Turbine boss Taylor-Mills, who told me, ‘it’s not for the faint hearted,’ and definitely not suitable for under 18s. That may be, but I’ll fight for a seat when they go on sale at 10am today on the Turbine’s website.
