1. Hay Fever
This is the wonderful Noel Coward at his outrageously naughty, provocative best, and it's no surprise it has climbed our chart from last month's number eight to this week's number one slot with the delightful Felicity Kendal at the helm. She stars as the monstrous, terrifying, tyrannical Judith Bliss, ex-star star of the London stage. What happens when her dreadful family take in a collection of unsuspecting house guests? It's painfully funny, quite simply hilarious.

Get your laughing gear ready for a big night out packed to the brim with funny stuff. You will howl...

4. Photograph 51
Number 2 last time, this is the tale of the remarkable Rosalind Franklin, the woman whose essential contribution to the discovery of DNA's structure was never acknowledged by the male scientists she collaborated with. A salutary tale, Franklin's role is acted to perfection by the extremely talented Nicole Kidman, star of stage and screen and, by all accounts, a jolly good egg. See her in action as she brings Franklin, the long-neglected scientific heroine, to vibrant life.

6. Miss Saigon
Back in our chart again after a short absence, Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed new production of Miss Saigon is still making waves, having returned to the West End to break box office records. Inspired by Puccini’s famously lovely opera, Madame Butterfly, it re-imagines the classic love story taking place during the Vietnamese war, when the USA and exotic Vietnam clashed horribly and millions of lives were disrupted. Fantastic.
