Written by Mischief Theatre co-founders Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, the production bears all the hallmarks of their previous smash hits – meticulous planning disguised as spectacular disaster, physical comedy that defies logic, and comedic set-pieces that build to impossibly frantic conclusions. With over a decade of celebrating laughs on the West End, the company has taken its mission of making theater fun global. Watch the ‘funniest theatre troupe in Britain’ (The Telegraph) with tickets to The Comedy About Spies now!

It’s the 1960s, in London's Piccadilly Hotel, we follow a rogue British agent who has absconded with top-secret weapon plans, triggering a convergence of CIA and KGB operatives all desperate to retrieve the classified file.

The chaos multiplies exponentially with the arrival of an unsuspecting British couple and an actor auditioning for the role of James Bond – all becoming unwitting pawns in this high-stakes game of international espionage. The operation soon turns into a peculiar series of mistaken identities and bungled missions, all gone hysterically awry.

Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm still on crutches after a hip replacement so I'm happy to say the experience was spacious, not too many people and the check in staff were very chilled, helpful and friendly. It was a lovely atmosphere. I was directed to the lift and we, my friend and I were offered a couple of free fold up seats which made all the difference. The staff seemed to take care to assess our needs and offer what was needed or asked for. There was a secure cloak room where you made a charitable contribution of £1, so you didn't have to carry around stuff. The exhibition itself was a lovely experience, especially the leaves on the floor that moved and 'reacted' to people's footsteps. All in all, a really good visit of variety. If only Van Gogh knew how much we would be enjoying. his art and HOW we'd be enjoying his art!

It was super great! The singing was just great and the songs were incredibly well put together. Plus the beautiful hall and the great stage design. I was more than happy that I chose Moulin Rouge!
