Top of the Flops – Work in Progress

Thu 16 – Thu 23 Mar 23 60 minutes

Together, the fractious pair recreate moments from the West End and Broadway’s long-forgotten flops, in an act of showbiz grave robbing.

A love letter to musical theatre and a celebration of failure, featuring songs you’ll want to remember from shows you’ve possibly forgotten, by legends including Jerry Herman, Kander & Ebb, Alan Jay Lerner, Ivor Novello and Pet Shop Boys.

Top of the Flops asks whether life is not in fact a cabaret old chum, but rather a musical with a score that doesn’t coalesce, a plot that makes no sense and a cast that never gels – but the occasional brilliant number along the way.
