La Soiree 2017/2018

La Soirée is back in town and this time they are not in a makeshift auditorium constructed with wood and uncomfortable seats, they are in a proper theatre – the Aldwych Theatre – and again it’s a show that’s nonstop!

 

With a load of new acts and some returning from year’s past it’s a show to get you enticed and excited, and La Soirée lives up to it’s reputation as being fun, exciting, death defying, action packed, and dare I say it – sexy and scandalous!
In the smallish and intimate Aldwych Theatre, where seats are so close to the action, enough so that you can see the performers every ripple, bump, and sweat, and there are even VIP tables on the stage to put you right in the middle of the action if you so dare choose, there’s no other show like this currently being performed in London. It’s a great night out for you and your friends, family and colleagues to forget the hustle and hassle and bustle of the Christmas season and to add some sparkle and tittleation in between.

La Soiree 2017/2018

Beginning with a life-size black female puppet ‘singing’ to the tune of the disco classic ‘if you could read my mind’ – it’s a great way to start the show. Then we are treated to new acts to make this show that a blend of cabaret, comedy, circus and burlesque. The Chilly Brothers, both muscular, handsome and young, will wow you with their skills of tossing each other to and fro, enough so to take yur breathe away. Directly from India and their first time in London, the superb Mallakhamb India featuring Rajesh Amrale with Rajesh Rao will mesmerize you their acrobatic pole skills, all the while happily smiling! The beautiful and dazzling Lea Hinz is on the arial hoop, literally twirling over the head of the audiences! LJ Marles spins and twirls while his feet are tied around a strap – it’s mind blowing and breathe taking! The genetically gifted Klodi Dabkiewicz and Leon Fagbemi perform an intimate dance routine that will leave you panting. But it’s Fancy Chance, who, at the the end of the show, will literally leave you breathless as she dangles over the stage which just her hair attached to a crd – how she does I’ve got no idea – but she’s fabulous!

There’s lots more to this two hour show, including the sexy du La Serviette, two sexy men who dance and prance around the stage with only a towel to protect their modesty. But La Soirée is a show that needs to be told in photos, so here’s a selection of some of the performers:

Screen Actors Guild announces nominees (Film)

by timbaros

2018-sag-nominationsThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri walked away with the most nominations in the film category, snagging four total, including one for best cast in a motion picture—the SAG equivalent of best picture. Nipping at its heels is Lady Bird,another Oscar front-runner, which scored three SAG nominations total. Over in the TV categories, the ceremony bid an enthusiastic hello to the new Netflix wrestling comedy GLOW, awarding it four total nods—including best ensemble for a comedy series and best stunt ensemble—while four individual actors from Big Little Lieswere given individual nominations—another strong showing for HBO’s hit mini-series, especially since the Screen Actors Guild does not separate supporting performances from leading ones in its TV categories.

The SAG Awards, which this year will honor Morgan Freeman with a lifetime achievement award and be hosted by The Good Place star Kristen Bell—a first for the ceremony, which usually does not have a designated emcee—will air Sunday, January 21 on TNT and TBS.

La Boheme (Theatre)

by timbaros

Becca Marriott as Mimi & Roger Paterson as Ralph in LA BOHEME. Credit Scott RylanderLa Bohéme, an opera in four acts, had its world premiere in 1896 in Turin, Italy. Since then, it’s been copied and re-interpreted in so many different ways that each version is unique in its own way. Another re-incarnation of this very famous opera has just recently opened up at Trafalgar Square Studios, and it’s definitely one Londoners can identify with.

This version of La Bohéme, written by Adam Spreadbury-Maher and Becca Marriott, had it’s debut at the King’s Head Theatre last year. And luckily for us it’s making a return in a central London venue. Set in present-day East London, the show presents to us broke and down and out young men and women who can barely scrap together money for the rent, or in one case, to buy drugs. Ralph and Mark (Roger Paterson and Thomas Isherwood) are roommates in a flat on Christmas Eve in Dalston, and when someone knocks on their door they instinctively hide because they suspect it’s their landlord collecting rent – they even have a window that acts as a back door to escape. Then there is Mimi (Marriott), broke and very thin, and always cold, who finds her way into the boys’ flat and meets Ralph – they have an instant connection and take a liking to each other. Then there is Musetta (Honey Rouhani), who, with her beautiful looks and luscious lips and curves that go on for miles, is the troublemaker and ingénue who sweeps in and out and leaves her mark. If these characters sound familiar, they also make up some of the cast of the characters of ‘Rent’ – that classic 1990’s musical rock opera that won a slew of awards with very memorable songs such as Seasons of Love and 525,600 minutes, Rent has withstood the test of time as one of the greatest musicals ever made. La Bohéme is also very good – it’s a musical for this generation, a generation that seems to live life through their mobile phones 24/7. And this La Bohéme involves a bit of audience unparticipation – Musetta gets cozy with some uncomfortable-looking male members of the audience, while Mimi asks for spare change – it’s surreal and hard hitting but even more so when those who get asked all shake their heads and say no, with a look of guilt on their faces. Trafalgar Studios is quite a cozy place to put on a show this big, but it works. The cast are all amazing, and by the end I almost really believed what I saw was real. The cast (some of the actors rotate with other actors on various nights) are accompanied by the Musical Director, Panaretos Kryiatzidis, on piano and Alison Holford on cello. It’s a must see!

La Bohéme is now playing at Trafalgar Studios until January 6, 2018

Stronger (Film)

by timbaros

stronger-side-lff17-1004Jake Gyllenhaal is very good in a true story of a man who was severely injured in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 in the new film ‘Stronger.’

Gyllenhaal plays Jeff Bauman, a young man who lives with his alcoholic mother Patty (played by Miranda Richardson) and is in a quasi relationship with Erin (Tatiana Maslany). ‘Stronger’ sets the scene (we know what is going to happen) by Jeff proving to Erin that their on-again and off-again relationship is back on again as he tells her that he will be at the finish line when she finishes at the Boston Marathon. On the day of the marathon, Jeff is there, near the finish line when he, along with several other people, become victims of the bomb attacks by brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who planted two bombs along the route. Jeff is severely injured and loses both of his legs, and it’s a long and difficult process that sees him through a few highs, and many many lows, as he deals not just with having to learn to live with no legs, but also to deal with the relationships around him. Erin still loves him, but is it true love or does she really feel sorry for him? Then there’s his mom, who is relishing in his new found fame, enough so that she can’t contain her excitement when Jeff is asked to be on The Oprah Winfrey show. And Jeff, at times, feels very sorry for himself, collapsing in the bathroom in just trying to perform the simplest tasks we all take for granted. What remains constant in his life is the friendships he has with his mates – they don’t treat him any different and even get him into trouble, just like the old days. But Jeff is, as the title suggests, ‘Stronger,’ and will overcome what life has thrown his way.

Gyllenhaal is really gunning for an Oscar nomination for this movie. It’s just another role in which Gyllenhaal excels in playing a man who has to deal with adversity in the wake of tragic events, and who has to overcome a lot just to get to the other side. He might not get one as he’s missed out on a Golden Globe nomination. If ‘Stronger’ were a bit better perhaps it would be showered with awards. Richardson, as his mother Patty, is just a caricature of a Bostonian mother hen, while Maslany is a bit too over confident and at times too bossy in her role as the girlfriend. And ‘Stronger’ has way too many red, white and blue rah rah rah moments. It’s a bit too much when Jeff is wheeled onto a crowded basketball arena in his wheelchair – a moment that he can’t take in and we can’t really quite believe. And while I don’t know if this film is 100% factual, at the end where lots of people come up to him and thank him and tell him their personal stories is a lump in your throat moment. ‘Stronger’ details Jeff’s injuries, both physical and emotional, and his relationship with Erin in a film that is both touching, sentimental, dramatic and inspirational, but could’ve been better. Gyllenhaal is the best thing in the film. He can take roles on, and be successful, dramatically changing, when he needs to, his appearance, or by just being himself. It’s the Gyllenhaal way.

Boys in the Buff (Theatre)

by timbaros

20479984_10154538926482811_3827610590174843124_n CROPThe Full Monty. Naked Boys Singing. And put Boys in the Buff in that category.

Yes, these are shows where the male cast take their clothes off and sing and act (a bit) for the audience. Of course, The Full Monty was the biggest of the bunch (biggest I mean most popular – ahem). Naked Boys Singing was the gayest, and Boys in the Buff is in a category all by itself – the campiest!

Four goodlooking young men, and a voluptuous compere, entertain us with their flare, razzle dazzle, and their bits (well not the compere – who is female!) in a show with witty and cute songs and dialogue but perhaps lacking in good taste, and in a couple cases, passable acting! But singing, and acting, is not what this show is all about – we’re left in anticipation of waiting, and wanting, for the boys to take their clothes off. In the meanwhile, we are treated to really fun songs like ’Size Doesn’t Matter,’ ‘Does My Bum Look Big in This,’ and ‘Let it All Hang Out,’ and dreadful ones that include ‘Dancing in the Semi-Nude’ and ‘My Foreskin and Me.’ There’s also audience participation much to the delight (not) of the audience. But in the intimate confines of the Kings Head Theatre, where the first two rows are so close to the stage it’s almost a crime, the boys really pour out their hearts, and display their bits, for us soldieringly. Adam Mroz is so cute and sexy, you just want to take him home and put him in your bookshelf! Hunky Adam O’Shea, who was in the original production at the Lost Theatre this past summer, brings his muscles with him, – he’s certainly got pecs-appeal! Daniel Timoney is along for the ride, as is Eli Caldwell. But Shani Cantor is just fab fab fab as the hostess with the mostest! All in all it’s one hour of fun!!!

Beach Rats (Film)

by timbaros

02-BEACH-RATS-–-Frankie-Harris-Dickinson-and-his-crew-in-Eliza-Hittmans-BEACH-RATS-courtesy-of-NEONA young man plays it very cool with his friends while he hides his true sexuality in the new film ‘Beach Rats.’

19-year old Frankie (Harris Dickinson) lives with his mother and dying father in Brooklyn, New York. His mother constantly nags him to get a job but he spends his days doing drugs and hanging out with his gang of homeboys. They are all very macho and straight and while away the hours hanging out on the boardwalk and chatting up local girls. But what they don’t know about Frankie is that he secretly spends his time on gay hookup sites and meets other men at a local cruising spot for sex. There is one girl, however, from the neighborhood (Madeline Weinstein) who he hooks up with – he really likes her and she really likes him, but expectedly it doesn’t go anywhere. And when he gets involved in an incident with his friends that involves a gay man his life suddenly takes a turn.

UK born Dickinson is very good as Frankie. He nails down the accent and the attitude almost perfectly. With no previous film credits, he’s a natural and very compelling to watch on the big screen (and boy is he sexy)! Director Eliza Hittman gets almost everything right in this film, with the exception of the last 20 minutes that gets a bit too unbelievable. But it’s Dickinson you’ll remember when the screen credits go up. He’s on to bigger and better things.
