BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: A HORNY LOVE STORY

He might be a beast but his castle is to die for!

Award-winning adult-panto queens He’s Behind You! return with a ridiculous new version of the 18th greatest love story ever told. Be our guest in the frostbitten Scottish village of Lickmanochers where inexperienced mummy’s boy Bertie becomes the prisoner of an aristocratic brute with lustrous body hair and a castle that's just begging for a makeover. As the snow falls, it's not just the tension that rises...

Starring the best dame in town Matthew Baldwin (“sublime” - Guardian; “wonderful” - Time Out) and packed with big laughs, daft frocks, hilarious songs and all the panto trimmings, don’t miss London’s top festive night out. It’s fabulous fun - just NOT for all the family.

Dark of the Moon

Book Now

DARK OF THE MOON is a supernatural tale of powerful witchcraft, small-town prejudices and the power of love. This timeless, spellbinding new musical portrays the clash of two dynamically polarized worlds—a charming rural Appalachian town and the mystical world of witches and warlocks from the Smoky Mountains that loom high above. The show’s unique musical score reflects those conflicting worlds using a thrilling blend of country/bluegrass and rock. Barbara Allen - a human girl and John - a curious witch-boy - find each other and defy their communities to build a life together. But will love conquer all - or will they be haunted by a deal that was made by the dark of the moon?
