BAXTER'S THEATRELAND BY NIGHT
A collection of theatres at night with a
commentary to start & backed by real music
It's had 1736 hits to date and the feedback's nice.

A note from the author

I took these pictures to show off London theatres as they are seen -most often - by theatre goers, at night.

Thanks to Ben Shafik for his lighthearted and informative commentary and Fionn O'Lochlainn for the original music.

Watch out for the new version with current liveries and the names of the theatres as they appear.

THE WIZARD OF OZ

Not wonderful? Well yes or no. It's not in the title but don't worry.. it's wonderful anyway.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has written jolly new songs and done his magic with this production. Put holes in the bucket of innocence by giving the proponents of evil a voice? Will this Harry Potter style ('evil dominating the oh so trying good') leak through to the Wizard of Oz? The author wrote a dozen other books.... there's money in them hills... or has been for 70 years.

Surviving Innocence

Oz DorothyThe Wizard of Oz (not 'wonderful') backed by the BBC TV reality show, Graham Norton and Weber should brighten the Palladium. Maybe they will need 2 months to set the stage. Advance booking recommended unless you are a long distance scheduler.

It is going to be fascinating to hear the new songs for the witches. Will Andrew put a leak in the bucket of innocence by giving the proponents of evil a voice? Will this Potter style 'evil dominating good' leak into the remakes planned in Hollywood? The author wrote a dozen other books.... there's money in them hills... or has been for 70 years.

Oz Tinman & Lion

We are getting a schoolgirl to review this one and pull back the curtain on why the story became an icon. This is the re-make that the British public made happen. Forget Hollywood we Brits have the imagination to make it new - really new.

Oz Dorothy
