About Lovers Actually

This holiday season, journey into a world of outrageous festive fun with Lovers Actually, a wickedly naughty musical parody of Love Actually, as it takes over the stage. Book Lovers Actually tickets on London Theatre.

Following last year’s smash-hit parody Homo Alone, writers Jodie Prenger (Coronation Street, I’d Do Anything) and Neil Hurst (Fat Friends The Musical) return with another holiday-themed comedy, this time taking inspiration from one of Britain’s most beloved Christmas films. Packed with filthy humour and festive costume changes, Lovers Actually gleefully reimagines Richard Curtis’ 2003 rom-com through a distinctly cheekier lens.

All of your favourite characters are back, just not as you might have remembered them. In this reimagination of the British classic, no character escapes parody.

Lovers Actually is a musical that leans into joy, inviting audiences to watch in delight. With sharply crafted musicality and a staging that embraces pure theatrical play, Lovers Actually celebrates the glorious mess that is Christmas romance.

Performed by an extraordinary four-person cast including Joseph Beach, Ross Clifton, Martha Pothen, and Holly Sumpton, the show features over a dozen characters played fast enough to give you whiplash. Expect bold reinventions, flustering innuendo, political satire, and enough mischief to keep even the grinchiest audience member giggling.

This production boasts an incredible creative team, including director Alex Jackson, set and costume designer Louie Whitemore, lighting designer Sherry Coenen, sound designer Hannah Bracegirdle, and musical director Lauren Hopkinson.

Lovers Actually in London embraces the joy of satire. Whether you adore Love Actually or love to hate it, this musical’s outrageous version of iconic moments promises a night of pure comedic escapism. With filthy fun and a cast delivering some of the most energetic multi-role performances seen on stage, Lovers Actually is the cheeky night out you didn’t quite know you needed.
