Sitting In The Cheap Seats

Here in the Cheap Seats we never used to be big fans of Titanic, but when we saw Danielle Tarento and  Thom Southerland ‘s sublime production last year our minds were totally changed (you can read our rave review  here ). Now we’re thrilled that this glorious production is coming back and will set sail from it’s spiritual home in Southampton! Read on for the full lowdown.

We’re very excited today to hear that full casting has been announced for Danielle Tarento  and Thom Southerland ’s next musical collaboration. With Titanic, Grey Gardens and Grand Hotel the pair have proved they have an undeniable knack for making chamber productions of sweeping shows and focusing on character. Read on to find out who they’ve cast to bring Rodgers & Hammerstein ’s lost treasure to life!

Okay, so I’m a little late to the party, you’ve probably already read a number of reviews of Grand Hotel all raving about it. I can honestly tell you though that they’re all wide of the mark… It’s even better than suggested!

The team that brought you last year’s acclaimed Titanic will return to  Southwark Playhouse  this summer with a new production of  George Forrest  and  Robert Wright’s  multiple Tony and Drama Desk award winning  Grand Hotel .
