The sun was blazing and the crowd were out!!  And what a reception for Upstairs at The Southern Cross…6 of our Acts performing at Fringe on the Fringe came down to join in the fun in the sun. There were icecreams, games, stalls, wonderful food and a stage for local groups to perform on! More than 5000 people came down to Fair on the Green, the wonderful annual day for residents and neighbours of Parsons Green.  Supported and sponsored by a whole host of local estate agents and businesses Fair on the Green has become a truly magnificent annual event.  This year Upstairs at the Southern Cross has opened and will now be part of this vibrant community.  Watch this space for the next stage in the development of our theatre here in Parsons Green!  Announcing soon the further plans for development and our Autumn season!!!  Enjoy the sunshine!

It is always nice to receive nice reviews, it’s even better to receive great ones!

officialtheatre.com visited Upstairs at the Southern Cross on many occasions throughout the Fringe on the Fringe season, and decided to highlight three evenings. You may have already read our Latest News update on our Artistic Director’s triumph with Just Another Love Story, but what are equally thrilling (and well-deserved) are the reviews Hannah Levane and Jurassic Park the Musical both received from officialtheatre.com:

On Jurassic Park the Musical: “The show is high energy, sharp and executed with utter conviction. The company’s ability to turn up and perform almost anywhere is impressive, and the added characteristics of the venue just added to the co-ordinated mayhem the piece needs. This would be a perfect Edinburgh Fringe show, and one which guarantees a great night out. Die hard fans of the film will appreciate the intelligent references throughout and will be blown away by the conviction the cast gives to the piece.”

On Hannah Levane: “In her first solo cabaret Levane demonstrated exactly why she is so engaging to watch by performing a mix of songs that have all meant something to her at some stage in her life. Her voice is powerful, yet remarkably subtle, and she managed to demonstrate a diverse range of music each showcasing her unique vocal talents.”

Sarah Shelton, Creative Producer at Upstairs at the Southern Cross, has this to say:

“We are, simply, delighted that all three shows have received such amazing reviews. It is testament to the many people who worked tirelessly, not only in putting the Festival together, but also in creating the property that was so well received.”
