Royal Vauxhall
To mark the upcoming “dianaversary”, Desmond O’Connor’s acclaimed musical comedy Royal Vauxhall returns to its birthplace for two nights this month.
When Princess Diana dreams of a wild night out away from the long lenses of the paparazzi and the ruthless Royals at the Palace, best buddies Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett know there is only one place to take her: the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
The only trouble is: how the hell are they going to get one of the most famous faces in the world through the door without blowing her cover?
With Mercury previously played by cabaret superstar Reuben Kaye, O’Connor will be stepping into the role himself for this run with Joe Morrow as Kenny Everett and Carrie Marx as the people’s poppet.
Royal Vauxhall Tavern, 6th – 7th September. Tickets from £10.00. Find out more and purchase tickets.
