It's your last chance to book for the epic Grazia Theatre event at The Langham hotel in London this Friday. Here are the top five reasons why you need to come down and party with us like it's 2015, 1973 and 1871 (yep, it's a time-hopping tale)...

**1. To witness S Club 7's Hannah Spearitt having a diva meltdown **
Hannah (pictured above), once the super sweet little one in S Club 7, is on fiery form in the segment set in 2015. She plays Jade, an international megastar hiding out from a gig as her despairing manager (played by Coronation Street actor Thomas Craig) attempts to talk her round. Expect sunglasses, champagne glasses, and a bit of shouting. Better than the Big Reunion...
** 2. For an unexpected location**
Who can argue with the double luxury of seeing theatre within a posh London hotel? The Armour was specially commissioned as an immersive history of the grand hotel and takes you on a journey through time (not to mention the fabulous bars and rooms) to showcase the goings on behind closed doors through the ages. You'll not find a more intimate play anywhere in the capital.
3. To see Finty Williams by candlelight
Working this season's Victoriana lace trend to the *max, *Judi Dench's daughter is stunning as Eugenie, the long-suffering wife of the exiled French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (Sean Murray). With this part of the triptych, you get to step back to the 1800s with a performance entirely in candlelight. It's part historical conquest, part relationship drama, and - depending who you're sat next to - part ghost train spookiness in the dark. Put your iPhone away!
4. To have a swinging night in the Barouche Bar
This is not only a night at the theatre. After the play is over, we'll head to the Langham's brand new pop-up - Barouche Bar - where we'll be hosting an after-party with the cast - complete with a Q&A, bubbly and canapes. Then, we've got an amazing swing band to dance the night away. Happy Friday to us.
5. For a bit of sexy Seventies
A radio interview about shipping containers does not sound like a sultry premise for a play, but Simon Darwen and Siubhan Harrison manage to inject such a frisson into their section, that you feel like you're in a seduction scene with Don Draper. Who needs Fifty Shades when you have The Armour?
Come and join us! See ‘The Armour’ with the Grazia Theatre event, 7.30pm on 27 March at The Langham W1. Tickets are £40 and include a post-show talk with cast, including a glass of fizz and nibbles in the pop-up Barouche Bar.
