In the big, sexy season finale the gang review Burlesque the Musical at the Savoy Theatre. Are the rumours about its troubled previews true? Susie Miller's new play Inter Alia follows her huge hit Prima Facie, so how does this second play set in the judicial world with a difficult to pronounce Latin title fare? And Jeevan Braich who plays Rusty in the huge production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express at the Troubadour Wembley Park tells Tim Bano about being cast on Tiktok, dropping out of school and what it takes to roller skate around a huge stage eight times a week while dressed as an anthropomorphic train.

We'll be back in September - in the meantime don't forget to get your tickets to our live show on 20th September at the Royal Court Theatre https://royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/the-london-theatre-review-live-with-ambika-mod-david-byrne/

Zachary Hart from hit play Stereophonic - about a 70s rock band recording their second album - tells Nancy what it's like to play a drug-addicted, alcoholic bass player while also performing live music with the onstage band. He also talks about working with Cate Blanchett in The Seagull.

The gang review the adaptation of Malorie Blackman's seminal book Noughts and Crosses at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and the transfer of Beth Steel's play Til The Stars Come Down at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.

Star of His Dark Materials, Luther and so much other stuff, the incredible Ruth Wilson, talks to Nick Curtis about starring in a very little-revived Eugene O'Neill play A Moon For the Misbegotten. She also talks faith, creativity and roles for older women.

Nancy is very excited because the show she saw and adored on Broadway, Stereophonic, has just transferred to the West End. For legal reasons it is very much NOT about Fleetwood Mac making Rumours...but the band members are packing up, shacking up and falling out - it's written by David Adjmi with songs by Arcade Fire's Will Butler.

And 25 years after its original production, Sarah Kane's play 4.48 Psychosis is being revived at the Royal Court in London in exactly the same space, with the same director and cast.

Profane rockstars, metaphorical elephants and childish innuendoes - don't say we don't bring the variety on LTR. This week, with Mr Clark away, producer Tim steps in to review Just For One Day the Live Aid musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre alongside Nick and Nancy, as well as Miss Myrtle's Garden at the Bush Theatre. Nick also chats to the very multi-talented Anoushka Lucas - blowaway star of 'sexy' Oklahoma! and Jesus Christ Superstar - whose debut play Elephant is back on the London stage at the Menier Chocolate Factory after two sellout runs at the Bush Theatre.
