With the return of our two brilliant leads and an exceptional supporting cast, this production is set to bring an irrepressible energy and spark to the stage. After a triumphant season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and memorable concert performances, it’s a joy to see this fantastic team come together for its next chapter. The talent, the camp, and the fierce rivalry of this musical comedy are only going to get bigger, bolder, and more spectacular in Soho. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this journey through Renaissance Italy—it’s going to be a wild, unforgettable ride!”
