Pet Shop Boys Musical Back in London
They always were East End boys! Cult Pet Shop Boy musical Closer to Heaven is returning to East London’s Union Theatre this fall. Directed by Gene David Kirk, the tuner, which has a book by Jonathan Harvey, will play a limited engagement October 21 through November 28. Set against the backdrop of Soho’s pulsing clubland, Closer to Heaven tells the story of Dave, just off the boat from Ireland and determined to make something of himself. Will he truly discover himself in London, or will he fall into a labyrinth of excess, false agendas and the darker side of club life? Casting will be announced later.

Watch Will Swenson & Ramin Karimloo Duet
Will Swenson is currently in residence at 54 Below and his former Les Miz co-star Ramin Karimloo recently stopped by the Times Square hotspot for a cameo appearance. Naturally, the pair started off with "The Confrontation"...before unexpectedly segueing into (spoiler alert) Éponine's death song, "A Little Fall of Rain." Hilarity ensues, as you might expect!?! Check out the performance below and have a great weekend!
