What's On: Entertainment previews

GIG
Britney Spears, The O2 arena

Whirling Shaolin monks, mimes, dancers, gymnasts, acrobats and Perez Hilton.

And that's only how Britney's Circus show begins.

Yes it's bound to be big, brash and brightly coloured enough to make the colourblind weep into their pricey programmes, but perhaps so much show only reveals a lack of anything tangible to show-off.

She's been at it a while, and although critics all over the world are happy to say she can still move with the best of them, not to mention look good in a series of outfits, most agree she's dwarfed by her own production.

June 3,4,6,7,10,11,13,14, 6.30pm, £49.50-£100, 0844 856 0202, theo2.co.uk, Jubilee: North Greenwich

TALKS
Mid****** Night's Dream, The Space

So cutting edge they cut out part of the title, this Bard adaptation is a 50-minute version of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Speeches and characters get spliced together in a bid to save time and keep the production sharp and immediate.

There's bound to be all kinds of love-trickery, drugs (just talk to Frank) and flighty fairy antics all supported by the strains of a ukelele and a violin.

Apparently it's a raucous performance, which provides an unpredictable ride through manipulation, magic and control.

Why the stars? Maybe they simply Pucked up the spelling.

June 4-5, 8pm, £10 (£6), 020 7515 7799, space.org.uk, DLR: Mudchute

EVENT
Here Come The Boys, The Indigo2

So what do you do after dumping the woman with one of the most notorious chest's in the country.

Well, if you're Peter Andre, pictured, you get yourself down to North Greenwich to introduce a selection of former Chippendales keen to continue cashing in on their own assets.

According to the press release Peter will be "casting his eye over this dynamic show". Whether this means he will be stitting at the side passing sardonic comment on the performers or putting his six-pack where his mouth is for a greased-up rendition of Insania, we just don't know.

At least Jordan won't be there.

May 28, 7pm, £30, 0844 844 0002, theindigo2.com, Jubilee: North Greenwich
