Why watch Oscar at the Crown?
- Experience a truly immersive musical in a purpose-built underground bunker just minutes from Tottenham Court Road, where the music pulses, the drama rages, and literature's vivacious icon reigns over mayhem.
- Dance along to an original electropop score by Andrew Barret Cox, known for composing tracks for RuPaul's Drag Race royalty, in this high-energy dance party-cum-nightclub.
- Witness a critically acclaimed production that took New York by storm at Brooklyn's 3 Dollar Bill and wowed audiences at the Edinburgh Festival before being reinvented for this exclusive London run.
Created by the Neon Coven collective, the show first gained a devoted following at Brooklyn's 3 Dollar Bill before captivating audiences with astounding vocals and non-stop theatrics at the Edinburgh Festival 2023. Now, it's been reimagined for London with new musical elements and an enhanced production design.
The London production is being brought to life by ROYO, the production company behind Here and Now – The Steps Musical and Kinky Boots, in collaboration with Path Entertainment Group. Unlike traditional theatre, the bar remains open throughout the performance, and audiences are encouraged to film and share their experience, breaking down the typical barriers of theatrical etiquette. The venue itself is described by creators as integral to the experience - where you can kick those boots, grab a drink, and let yourself loose!
Storyline
In a dystopian future where civilization has crumbled, all that remains are reality TV shows, jaw-dropping vocals, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde. A group of flamboyant outcasts have taken refuge in an underground bunker they call The Crown, where they worship Wilde as their patron saint of fabulousness. Led by the charismatic Oscar, they stage extravagant pageants celebrating Wilde's life and work while exploring the strange connection between his Victorian celebrity status and our modern obsession with fame.
