Speaking to Dan Morrissey on Magic Radio, Baz confessed: “It's being worked on, it's happening yeah. I don't know if I was supposed to announce it but hey I just did. I'm not doing it because I have this thing I've learnt - it's like I got Alex Timbers to do the Moulin Rouge musical - I can never go backwards. I can't be me when I was 28 doing Romeo & Juliet. But I love handing it on, I'm not precious. I'm like take my baby!”The most obvious Elvis stage show to do would be a jukebox musical of his life and career, featuring his greatest hits. Interestingly, this already exists but could perhaps be revamped for a new generation.The King of Rock and Roll died in August 1977, and just three months later, Elvis the Musical premiered on the West End stage.

Two years ago, the first-floor part of the building, known as 'Upstairs at Ronnie's', shut its doors for refurbishment, and has since undergone a complete and total overhaul. Now it has reopened, anew, transformed from its previously worn look into a portal, sending attendees into a pseudo-contemporary speakeasy.The "purpose-designed, intimate auditorium" not only pays homage to the club's six-decade legacy, but it is future-proofed.

My Generation, Baba O’Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Substitute… Pete Townshend’s work for The Who stands high in the pantheon of rock greats. His solo albums started well with 1972’s Who Came First, and peaked with 1980’s Empty Glass but kept coming. Buoyed by the success of his rock operas Quadrophenia and Tommy, Pete decided to push boundaries on this 1993 concept album. His biggest fans call it challenging; his detractors call pretentious drivel. The semi-biographical record centres on a washed-up 60s rock star, Ray High, who can no longer write songs and whose manager teams up with a tabloid music reporter to revive his career via a sex scandal apparently involving 14-year-old superfan Rosalyn.The result is an unlistenable mess, with dialogue and narration inserted between songs along wi...
