Charles Strouse obituary

1 week ago | theguardian.com | Michael Coveney

Like his fellow Broadway composers Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, Charles Strouse, who has died aged 96, had a classical music education. But his breakthrough hit – for which he won his first Tony award – with lyrics by his early career collaborator, Lee Adams, was Bye Bye Birdie (1960), a satirical take on the new teenage culture of rock’n’roll, with reference to the kerfuffle surrounding Elvis Presley’s call up to the US army.

John Gale obituary

The elegantly rumbustious West End theatre producer John Gale, who has died aged 95, made his name and his fortune when, in 1971, he produced the longest-running comedy of all time, No Sex Please, We’re British, by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott. The play ran for 17 years in all, first at the Strand (now the Novello) and then the Garrick, with Michael Crawford giving the stage performance of his life as the fraught and frazzled bank clerk overrun with unwanted parcels of pornography.

Mike Bradwell obituary

1 month ago | theguardian.com | Michael Coveney

Ebullient, pugnacious, larger than life. No single adjective is sufficient to describethe tumultuous, impossible talent of the director Mike Bradwell, who has died aged 76. The success of the Hull Truck Theatre company that he founded in 1971 led, eventually, to the great success of Hull’s year as the European city of culture in 2017.
Clive Revill obituary

2 months ago | theguardian.com | Michael Coveney

No one who saw Clive Revill, who has died aged 94, on stage or screen thought he was anything less than a superb actor. However, for one who enjoyed such a distinguished career, he was surprisingly little known to the general public. It was as though he operated under the radar. He was twice nominated for a Tony award on Broadway, worked three times in startlingly different productions with the great stage director Peter Brook, and twice with the film director Billy Wilder.

Lee Montague obituary

2 months ago | theguardian.com | Michael Coveney

The start of postwar theatre in London was signalled by the birth of the Old Vic school in the rubble of the bombed theatre in Waterloo in 1948 and the reopening of the Old Vic itself in 1950. The actor Lee Montague, who has died aged 97, was a founding student at the school and “walked on” in Twelfth Night, the first professional production in the postwar era at the Vic. His subsequent stage career included Old Vic seasons separated by 10 years.
