Set Design by Justin Williams & Jonny Rust

The newly arranged score features a treasure trove of gorgeous operetta melodies by Offenbach, Lehár and others, culminating in the famous Can-Can itself. This production is running as part of Phil Willmott’s 4th Essential Classics Season at the Union Theatre.

‘The show is a stunning, sugary confection of acrobatic feats and lavish design’

‘Making deft use of Justin Williams and Johnny Rust’s supple proscenium-arch-on-a-truck staging is their best to date’
