iTheatre... Shoes - The Musical x Peacock Theatre x February 8 - April 3, 2011

SHOES - The absolutely sublime song and dance revue about SHOES (only not just quite) from Richard Thomas and Stephen Mears for Sadler's Wells recently made it's West-End debut at Peacock Theatre and will be running up until April 3. I was at one of the advanced screenings for the musical a few months ago and I was blown away! The singing was just amazing and the dancing was well-crafted as well as beautifully original plus the live music element... I definitely recommend that you go see it! I sat through and was captivated by two hours of a production seemingly about women's shoes so you know this is a WINNER!

I saw this one on Channel AKA the other day - new visuals for 'Alcohol Poisoning' which is the lead single from "Brand New Collective", Unit 2 Records featuring emerging UK emcees Castro & Junior Brat that's easily for the club heads. Wait for the 3.20 minute mark, the song goes someplace else... Directed by Sesan who also directed this Snoop Dogg-featured video.

The single is out on March 5 if you're feeling this one.
