One-off performance of George Bernard Shaw classic celebrates playwright's birthday
A ONE-OFF performance of one of George Bernard Shaw's classic plays will be staged in June to mark the playwright's birthday. SHAW2020'S production of Village Wooing will run at the Irish Cultural Centre (ICC) in Hammersmith on July 27, just one day after what would have been Shaw's 169th birthday. Born in Dublin on July 26, 1856, Shaw remains one of Ireland's most celebrated literary figures. The ICC organisers say their commemorative event is set to 'honour his enduring legacy with a witty, incisive piece that showcases the playwright's hallmark charm, intellect, and social critique'. Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw pictured at his home in Hertfordshire, shortly before his 90th birthday in July 1946. (Pic: Getty) Directed by Jonas Cemm, and former trustee of The Shaw Society, the production of Shaw's anti-romance play stars Joe Sargent as 'A', a reserved guidebook writer, and Maryann O'Brien as 'Z', a quick-witted country shopgirl determined to draw him out of his shell. 'We are so looking forward to hosting the production of Village Wooing here at the ICC, as we know that SHAW2020 produce Bernard Shaw productions of the very best,' Rosalind Scanlon, Cultural Director of the Irish Cultural Centre, said this week. Following the show, Dublin-born actor Billy Boyle, who has starred in west end musicals such as Hello, Dolly!, Maggie May, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, will host a Q&A with the director and cast. Village Wooing runs at the Irish Cultural Centre at 2.30pm on July 27. The production then transfers to nearby Theatre at the Tabard in Chiswick for a three-week run from August 6 – 23, where it will be part of a double bill, titled SHAW vs CHEKHOV: Village Wooing & The Proposal.

Audiences can expect a colourful production packed with vibrant and energetic songs from popular shows including Chicago, Rocky Horror, Saturday Night Fever, Wicked, We Will Rock You, Les Misérables, Jersey Boys, Dirty Dancing, and Hairspray. The show is produced by Matt Brinkler for Red Entertainment and Keith Jack, who shot to fame after placing second in BBC1's Any Dream Will Do. Mr Jack said: "[Joseph] has been a part of my life since before Any Dream Will Do, and I've always thought about getting a few Joseph performers together for a concert of musical theatre. "[Joseph] is such a well-loved musical and we continue to be delighted with fantastic audience reactions around the country. "We discovered the show not only appeals to people of all ages, it even introduced some of the newer musicals to audiences that haven't heard them before. "We're excited to bring the updated show to more audiences in 2025." (Image: Robin Savage) Mr Brinkler added: "This musical theatre concert is the perfect way to make larger musicals accessible and affordable for so many that need an introduction to theatre. "It gives us an opportunity to reach further into communities that haven't got access to number one touring venues. "It is my hope that we can inspire new audiences towards the West End and large-scale touring venues and at the same time, we have an opportunity to introduce some new musicals to audiences that are already fans of the genre." The tour will kick off on September 28 at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, and will celebrate the life and work of legendary musical theatre composers in this brand-new mega mix production. The show promises to be a night of theatre that will raise spirits and be unforgettable.

The huge amount WWE star Seth Rollins paid for extravagant jacket donned on Monday Night RAW
The latest glitzy wardrobe choice from WWE star Seth Rollins, with 'The Architect' donning a blue and gold jacket on Monday Night RAW, set the accomplished professional wrestler back a whopping $13,500. The 'Golden Peacock' long coat, made by clothing brand Rastah, was worn by Rollins as WWE's flagship weekly show aired worldwide on Netflix. Rollins is one of the biggest stars in the WWE with his character known for wearing colorful outfits that differ with every appearance. The latest wardrobe choice went viral for its distinct design. Rastah's website has the coat's value, alongside each coat being made to order, with a production time of around 60 days. That means Rollins has his on-camera outfits well planned in advance. The coat also features tiny specks of green and pink on the animals. The 'Monday Night Messiah' matched his long coat with white pants and black boots. Rollins delivered a promo wearing the jacket with allies Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman in tow, with an adversary in Sami Zayn. Rollins needed to unbutton his jacket to end the segment and deliver his signature curb stomp to the head of Zayn, leaving his rival laying. Rollins, whose outfit may have been inspired to double with an audition for the title role in the next Broadway revival of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', recently cemented his status as one of WWE's top guys. The 38-year-old won his second WrestleMania main event of his career earlier this month by defeating longtime rivals CM Punk and Roman Reigns in a triple-threat main event. Heyman's alliance with Rollins began at the Las Vegas spectacular with him siding with the former world champion over his previous clients in Punk and Reigns. Rollins is expected to team with Breakker in a tag-team match against Reigns and Punk in the near future, with WWE's next premium event, Backlash, taking place next Saturday, May 10.

Maria Friedman Recalls Donny Osmond's 'Hilarious Stories' About Osmonds Band While Making 'Joseph' Musical Film (Exclusive)
Maria Friedman reminisced to PEOPLE about working with Donny Osmond on during the opening night of "We have seen each other over the years, absolutely," said the theater vet, calling Osmond "a gorgeous guy" Osmond later appeared in a live production of as Pharaoh last year, after first playing the title role on stage and, later, in a 1999 movie adaptation Maria Friedman has fond memories of working with the "gorgeous" Donny Osmond on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The actress, singer and director was in attendance during the opening night of Broadway's Real Women Have Curves in New York City on Sunday, April 27, where she opened up to PEOPLE about her time making 1999's Joseph with Osmond, 67. "I remember Donny Osmond always telling hilarious stories about when he was in The Osmonds," says Friedman, 65, referring to her former costar's famous family band that also consisted of his brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay Osmond. The Merrily We Roll Along director also reflected on what she learned in making the movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's beloved stage musical, in which she played the Narrator alongside Osmond's titular Joseph. "I just remember the ensemble thing, and also how I got to learn about cameras," she tells PEOPLE. "Because it was filmed ... we recorded it but we had a very short rehearsal period, so I had to really understand technique of getting into the camera and making sure I was in frame."

So it taught me a lot." First presented as a stage production in 1972 with Bill Hutton in the title role, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is based on Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis and was Webber, 77, and book/lyrics writer Tim Rice's first musical to be performed publicly. And more than 25 years after the movie version's release, Friedman tells PEOPLE that she and Osmond "have exchanged texts and emails," but don't often connect in person these days. "We have seen each other over the years, absolutely," she adds. "I haven't worked with him or seen him [lately], but he's a gorgeous guy." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here!

After first playing the title role on stage in the early to mid '90s and, later, in the 1999 film, he returned to the production last year in the villainous role of Pharaoh at the Edinburgh Playhouse in Scotland. Osmond spoke with PEOPLE late last year amid his Joseph run in Scotland, which began with performances on Dec. 3 and concluded on Dec. 29. He admitted that it can feel "pretty bizarre ... to hear someone else doing the material you did for six years, 2,000 performances and more." (He even started singing a Joseph line by accident one night!) But he's "good" with his evolution now. "Opening night it was like, 'What is this going to be like?' " Osmond told PEOPLE at the time. "And as soon as they set me down on the chair on stage and the lights came up, the applause and ovation ... it was absolutely amazing. And then when Joseph comes out and ['Poor Poor Joseph'] began, I looked at the audience and I said, 'Déjà vu!' " Read the original article on People
