'Uptown Joel' and 'Jane Eyre A Musical'!

Adam meets Darren Reeves, chosen personally by Billy Joel to play him in the West End.

Adam meets Darren Reeves, star of the West End hit musical ‘Movin’ Out’. After being spotted playing him on Broadway, Billy Joel chose Darren to play the lead role of his Piano Man in London's West End. Now, Darren is bringing his show ‘Uptown Joel’ to Canterbury and chats to Adam in the studio.

We also meet Gemma Page, one of the stars of 'Jane Eyre: A Musical', the five-time Tony Award-nominated musical adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's revolutionary novel, currently running in London.

And our resident film critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh talks us through this week’s releases at the cinema.
