Set during the rise of Nazism at Berlin’s seedy cabaret spot The Kit Kat Club, Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Kander and Ebb’s musical has seen some incredible stars take to the stage, including Eddie Redmayne, Jessie Buckley, Jake Shears, and Rebecca Lucy Taylor. Now is the turn of *Bridgerton* star Hannah Dodd and *My Son's a Queer* performer Rob Madge to become cabaret performer Sally Bowles and the Emcee, the Club’s ghoulish Master of Ceremonies. It’s a perfectly marvellous bit of casting! See the duo take over from Marisha Wallace and Billy Porter from 29 May.

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Ah, the good ol’ days... when rock ’n’ roll could save the world, and we’d get a set of killer all-star concerts to prove it. *Just For One Day* tells the story of Live Aid, the 1985 stadium shows performed in London and Philadelphia to support victims of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. The show features hits by legends such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Diana Ross. These are big songs that were made to be heard live, so get your tickets now and learn the real story of how they were brought together.

Just For One Day at Shaftesbury Theatre

It’s been a helluva run, but the reign of The Plastics is nearing its end, so treat yourself to one last performance of Mean Girls before the curtain comes down for good next month. The rock musical, written by comedian Tina Fey with music by Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin, is based on the 2004 film about a girl who’s been home-schooled while living in Kenya but gets a crash course in clique life when she starts up at a Chicago high school.

Mean Girls at the Savoy Theatre

The Titanic certainly proved to be sinkable, but not so *Titanique*. Freshly christened with the Olivier for Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play, this bonkers musical carries on full steam ahead – extending its run until January 2026. Described as “a big queer cabaret with renegade energy”, *Titanique* takes the music of Celine Dion and slathers it over a camp skewering of James Cameron’s Oscar-winning film.

Titanique at the Criterion Theatre

Now don’t you feel silly? Here you had John Lithgow playing at the Royal Court to intimate crowds last year and you were just like: “...maybe?”. Now the show – *Giant* – has won the Olivier for best new play. Luckily it’s doing a short run in the West End this summer, so don’t skip the opportunity twice! Accomplished director Mark Rosenblatt’s writing debut about a troubling period in author Roald Dahl’s life in the 1980s has scary relevancy to current events.

Sugar Coat - [27453] - LON Product Media

Sugar Coat 480x720

A feminist pop-punk live music play about love, loss and lubrication. Based on a true story. 

*Sugar Coat* is a hilarious and heartfelt mix of rebellious empowerment and laugh-out-loud teen angst. 

Performed by an all female and non-binary band, we follow one woman’s coming-of-age journey, spanning across eight years of sexual highs and lows, with sprinklings of 90s nostalgia and an unashamedly queer and feminist call to arms. 

Winner of the OFFComm 2020 Award, Show of the Week (VAULT Festival 2020) and UNTAPPED (New Diorama Theatre & Underbelly) finalist, Sugar Coat is an uplifting and liberating show about puberty, sex, feminism, and reclaiming your body. 

Featuring original music inspired by Riot Grrl bands, such as Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo.

From the Producers of Fringe First winning Bobby & Amy, this powerful gig theatre confronts sex and sexuality in a brutally funny and honest show about trauma and recovery. Written by singer-songwriter Lilly Pollard (BBC Music Introducing) and playwright Joel Samuels (Fever Pitch, Divas, A Wake in Progress), with direction by Celine Lowenthal (Pecs, Soho Theatre; Sex, Sex, Men, Men, Yard Theatre) and co-Musical Direction from Anya Pearson of the renowned band Dream Nails. 

Contains graphic sexual content, loud music and unapologetically bad-ass feminism.

★★★★★ “An outstanding gig theatre experience – raw, emotional, and ultimately uplifting.” To Do List

★★★★★ “Sugar Coat perfectly encapsulates the way one can have a relationship with music.” Within Her Words
