EGOT Menken – who also proudly points out that he has an Evening Standard Theatre Award (for Best Musical for Little Shop of Horrors in 1983) amongst his bursting awards cabinet – is set to delve deeper into his storied career which spans more than 40 years as he takes to the stage at the London Palladium on March 9 for two shows – a matinee and an evening performance. They promise to be an unforgetable experience for fans as he touches on his time before and at the centre of the Disney Renaissance (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, etc) and beyond, with his current projects including musicals of Night At The Museum, Animal Farm and Nancy Drew. He’s also working on the live action adaptation of Disney’s Tangled along with a stage musical. Plus, the highly-anticipated stage adaptation of Disney’s Hercules opens in the capital at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in June.
