	The Producers @ Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London : theatre review
		You have to pity whoever's lined up to replace Nathan Lane after he vacates his role in the Producers at the start of the new year.
		After a string of flops, Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Lane) hatches a plan, with his anxiety prone accountant Leo Bloom (a suitably twitchy Lee Evans), to gather investment for the most tasteless, appalling stage show they can think of, and pocket the cash when the show inevitably closes.
		Though he is hardly a fantastic singer and his dancing is continually outshone by the supporting cast, he has a definite chemistry with Lane and is, unsurprisingly, adept at all the required pratfalls; it isn't a criticism of his performance to say that he more than holds his own.

	Donizetti - Il diluvio universale @ Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London : opera review
		Well, this concert performance of Il diluvio universale at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, proved that the composer's dramatic instincts for shaping musical drama were already well developed, after only a few years of writing operas.
		This concert performance was presented under the joint auspices of Opera Rara, the record label that specialises in little-known operas of the nineteenth century, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
		During the refurbishment of the Royal Festival Hall they are using a range of different venues, but I wasn't persuaded by the choice of the Theatre Royal.
