About this show
Flo & Joan's award-winning Edinburgh Fringe smash-hit returns. Watch as an icon of the musical theatre world finally turns the spotlight onto the one story he’s yet to tell: his own. '#1 Show of the Year' (Guardian). 'By rights, this theatrical tour de force deserves a 38-year run in the West End and similar on Broadway.' (Rolling Stone). 'They’ve just crammed in jokes... brilliantly written, superbly performed and surprisingly thoroughly researched' (Stage). 'A triumphant spoof of Andrew Lloyd Webber? It’s better than Cats' (Sunday Times). 'Magnificent... Flo & Joan are onto a winner here' (What’s On Stage).
