Dress Circle, the Covent Garden-based showbiz shop that specializes in everything to do with musicals (across the world, not just the West End) was damaged by fire after a break-in on Aug. 13.
Musicals fans have been suffering withdrawal symptoms ever since — though the shop does have a web site, www.dresscircle.co.uk, and can be reached by e-mail at [email protected].
Now it has been announced that the shop will reopen with a gala party on Saturday, Nov. 23, just in time for the seasonal demand for CDs, books and other theatrical merchandise.
