Comedy of errors is the usual, but are you ready for a thriller of errors? Two amateur true-crime podcasters are in for a ride when they find themselves in charge of a real-life murder investigation. They’ve both been having a tough time individually, and their Wiki podcast is scarcely successful in their small town. But when their favorite author is allegedly murdered, the unlikely duo does their best (or worst) to crack the case. The award-winning musical is a laughter riot and returns to London after sell-out shows last season. Jon Brittan has done a fabulous job of unionizing the pace of true crime with the big emotions of a musical. It’s murder town on the West End! And even Kathy and Stella can’t save the audience from a jolly fun night.

Claire Brennon,
The Guardian4/5
“The hit Edinburgh fringe musical about two friends on the trail of a killer has been awkwardly expanded but is still a delight”
Andrzej Lukowski,
Time Out4/5
“This wildly fun show…ingeniously yokes the breathlessness of the true-crime podcast genre to the big emotions of a musical.”
Olivia Garrett,
Radio Times4/5
"Bloody good fun with a poignant message"
Sarah Hemming,
Financial Times3/5
“a hugely likeable, self-deprecating piece, bubbling with mischievous energy and carried by two cracking central performances.”

The show was amazing. We enjoyed our stay, everything was perfect. It was so worth it, the next time we're in London we would come again and see this amazing show.

ABBA Voyage
Erik Sjodin
I saw ABBA first time in 1973 before they became famous in my hometown Lycksele. This show was excellent good in many ways. Especially the moves from in coordination between movies and the avatars. That made them more real.. A masterpiece from start to the end!! First time i cry in a show like this. Thd sound was better then in reality. Such a great job all of you made for all of us.. MAGIC.

Wicked

The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Booked day before for myself and mum as found ourselves in London and fancied a show. Took a chance on Mrs Doubtfire and all I can say is that it was fabulous from start to finish. Such energy and talent by the cast. Loved it.

Back to the Future
Olivier Gosseries
Fabulous experience where the 1985 film is revised into a Grease-style musical!
I went with my 11-year-old son and he loved it too.
Don't hesitate to go and see this pure marvel on your own or with your family!
