Opening on the West End in September 2017 Posted on Sep 6, 2017 | By Shanine Salmon September is here which means summer holidays are over, school has begun and a new season of shows is coming to the West End. Here is a look at some of the amazing shows that are opening this month in London. Britney Spears The Cabaret, The Other Palace If, like me, you don’t have the time/money to see Queen Britney in Vegas then this tribute from Aussie Christine Whelan Browne is a great alternative. Arriving with great reviews from its Australian run don’t miss this funny and satirical look at fame. Book tickets now for the 5-9 September run of Britney Spears The Cabaret at The Other Palace Waiting for Godot, Arts Theatre Returning to the home of its original 1955 run Samuel Beckett’s classic play is one not to be missed whether you are new to the world of theatre or long-term fan. Two men wait on a country road for Godot, if he arrives they are saved, if not they have to come back tomorrow. Book tickets now for the 5-23 September run of Waiting for Godot at Arts Theatre INK, Duke of York’s Theatre Part of North London Almeida Theatre’s, where it sold out this summer, West End season James Graham’s Ink looks at The Sun newspaper’s emergence from Mirror-owned Broadsheet to Rupert Murdoch’s trashy tabloid under the editor Larry Lamb. Matilda’s Bertie Carvel and Coupling’s Richard Coyle give one of the performances of the year. A fun and informative look at Fleet Street Life Book tickets now for the 9 September – 6 January 2018 run of INK at Duke of York’s Theatre Graeme of Thrones, Charing Cross Theatre If you're mourning a life avoiding spoilers then this unauthorised parody might make that wait for Season 8 in 2019 a little easier to bare. Huge GoT fan Graeme’s dream is to recreate his favourite show, despite lack of budget, cast or talent. Banned in Malaysia, don’t miss this show which has been wowing audiences worldwide (before HBO’s lawyers find out) Book tickets now for the 20 September-11 November run of Graeme of Thrones at Charing Cross Theatre Le Grand Mort, Trafalgar Studios Following his run in the London Palladium’s panto Julian Clary returns to the West End stage in Stephen Clark’s play. Sadly Clarke passed away before he could see Clary in the play he wrote for him. This dark comedy features two men and one flat in Notting Hill as they play a series of mind games is a great way to spend an autumnal night. Book tickets now for the 20 September – 20 October run of Le Grand Mort at Trafalgar Studios Toxic Avenger, Arts Theatre Following a successful run at Southwark Playhouse in South London The Toxic Avenger has made its way to the centre of London. Based on Lloyd Kaufman's 1984 film of the same name, The Toxic Avenger is a cult rock musical from The team that bought you the revival of The Stripper, by Rocky Horror’s Richard O’Brien and Richard Hartley. If you love camp classics then this is the show for you. Book tickets now for the 28 September – 3 December run of Toxic Avenger at Arts Theatre Labour of Love, Noel Coward Theatre September is the month of James Graham as his second play opens in the West End.
