This week’s featured artist of the week is from one of our Twitter followers, Proulxes. Many thanks to her for her creativeness on drawing Dan from an IPad and Ink.
A new series of musicals reimagined as concerts will take place later this year, starting with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying performed at the Royal Festival Hall.
The concert will feature the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mike Dixon, alongside an ensemble of yet to be announced performers.
Co-produced by Elliot Davis and concert promoters Senbla, the show will play for one night at the Royal Festival Hall on May 19.
Senbla managing director Ollie Rosenblatt said: “Bringing this show to the London concert stage is a great privilege. To start work on a production that has stamped itself firmly as one of the great shows in the history of musical theatre is hugely exciting, and this being one of many more musicals in concerts we will be producing we hope this will be a new form of entertainment for the public to get their teeth into”.
Davis added that the concert series “will see us honing in on the timeless classics of musical theatre and bringing them to concert in London with the best orchestras, casts and creative teams we can assemble”.
Further shows in the series have not yet been announced.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying – which was revived on Broadway in 2011 in a production starring Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette – features music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and a book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert.

In our exclusive interview with Tom, he tells us about the upcoming fan documentary he is directing for BBC Three, the crazy diet he went on for Against the Sun, and how he reacted to being sorted into Gryffindor on the Pottermore website.
Just Jared: Could you tell us a about the super fan documentary you’re working on?
Tom Felton: It’s an hour-long one-off that we’re doing with BBC and KR Films. It’s just kind of a chance for me to have a more in depth look at the world of super fans and these people that have followed franchises–kind of at the root of why Harry Potter was so successful. It had such an active fan base. It’s allowed people to be passionate about stuff that maybe they couldn’t be so open with in previous years. It’s kind of a look into that, it’s a road trip journey with me narrating.
JJ: What was your most memorable interview that you conducted?
TF: We’re still editing, but there’s a costume element. This idea that getting into costume (Terminator, comic book characters) and thousands of people that come into convention centers are freed. So I had my little experience with that, which was a bit awkward but fun. We had a guy in Pittsburgh, who’s like the world’s biggest Harry Potter fan, he was head to toe in Potter paraphernalia as I answered the door, which was a bit of an experience.
JJ: Did any of your Harry Potter co-stars take part in your special?
TF: Yeah, I interviewed Rupert [Grint], Daniel [Radcliffe], and J.K. Rowling, which is a huge honor to have those three talk so openly as they have done.
Tom Fletcher as well, many of you know as the lead singer of McFly or McBusted. He’s a huge Harry Potter fan. The documentary isn’t really supposed to be about Harry Potter, but it just so happens the people I’m talking to are related to that.
JJ: Do you know when and where fans will be able to watch it?
TF: It will be on BBC 3, I’m hoping for sometime in April, May. But again, don’t quote me because we’re still cutting it up. And then after that, hopefully later on in the year, it’ll be put up on online. I’m really excited to see what people’s opinion is of it. It was a massive insight for me, going behind the ropes and seeing what people actually do to stand behind a railing at an event. You don’t really think about the three hours it took them to stand there and get the best spot. And there’s a whole bunch of stuff that goes with that.

Trainwreck debut its green and red trailer. A website is now available showing minimal information, with a few stills.

As more information pops up I’ll be sure to post it for now you can view the trailer below. For the red band please go to the site.

Q: In late October of last year it was revealed that Blackalicious had a huge celebrity fan when Daniel Radcliffe, a.k.a. Harry Potter, went on Jimmy Fallon and rapped one of your best known songs, Alphabet Aerobics (www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdV5FvXLuI). That must have been something of a shock.
A: It was! I thought he did a great job. It took a moment before it sank in that I had watched him in those movies, and that he knew our music to the extent that he could go on television in front of millions of viewers and pull it off. That was incredible.
Q: I imagine very helpful for you as well.
A: You can’t pay for that kind of publicity. That song went from just under a million downloads to something like seven million. So, shout out to Daniel Radcliffe!
