Christmas 2024 with The Wardrobe Theatre – a fast, smart and devilishly funny new mash-up parody from the makers of The Good, The Bad & The Coyote Ugly, MDH: Puppets Do A Movie, Little Women In Black and many more!
Eternal pain and suffering, never-ending torment, ceaseless misery – falling in love isn’t always easy. When the foppishly handsome owner of a quaint bookshop falls for a jaw-droppingly gorgeous international mega celeb, little did he think he’d soon find himself deep in the fiery pits of the underworld, surrounded by horses, hounds and facing off with the cursed spawn of satan himself! Oh, bloody hell! This Christmas finding true love is going to take a lot of sacrifice, human sacrifice.
Directed by Helena Middleton (The Wardrobe Ensemble), Notting Hell is the latest alternative comedy mash-up parody from The Wardrobe Theatre, the people that brought you The Good, The Bad & The Coyote Ugly, MDH: Puppets Do A Movie, Little Women In Black, Drac & Jill and many more – a fast, smart and devilishly funny new comedy that promises to be surreal, but nice.
“A breathless two hours made fabulously raucous by four actors milking every absurd moment.”
★★★★★ Stage Talk Magazine on The Good, The Bad & The Coyote Ugly
“This is a show that never wavers or strays for a moment from being enjoyable, humorous and brilliantly performed. Among a fine list of past end of year delights, it would be difficult to argue that this isn’t The Wardrobe Theatre’s finest yet.”
★★★★★ The Fix on MDH: Puppets Do A Movie
“Supercharged.”
★★★★ The Observer on Drac & Jill
“Be prepared for your sides to ache for days afterwards.”
★★★★★ Bristol Post on Oedipuss In Boots
“Simply faultless… a triumph… so funny you will probably want to see it a more than once!”
★★★★★ The Fix on Reservoir Mogs
“If you are not shouting and clapping by the end of this two-hour hullabaloo, I’d be surprised.”
★★★★★ Stage Talk Magazine on Rocky Shock Horror
“An absolutely gold plated show, a must see.”
★★★★★ Broadway Baby on Goldilock, Stock & Three Smoking Bears
