    The West End in Bangkok

    » Balanced by the audio mixing-desk perhaps a few decibel notches louder than would usually be prudent on a typical evening at the Thailand Cultural Centre, blazing electric guitars will be ringing alongside the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (BSO) when musical maestro Michael England makes his third welcome visit to Thailand. The British conductor became an instant crowd favourite when he appeared with the BSO in 2013 and certainly seems to have established himself as a bona fide annual fixture for the orchestra's continuing love affair with West End or Broadway smash hits, which will take place again in "Musicals Rock" on Oct 21.
