Miss Nightingale @ The Hippodrome Casino (until 6 May)

A saucy new star shines under the spotlight. Two men struggle to bring their illicit love out of the shadows. The war-torn capital has never been so revealing! Welcome to the Glitz of the Blitz; where showgirls, secrets and scandal abound. A world where aristocrats jostle with black-market spivs, songwriters take to the streets and nothing is quite as it seems. Maggie Brown, an aspiring singer and her best friend George Nowodny, a songwriter and Jewish refugee, perform a dazzling act at the newest night club in town, owned by wealthy socialite and RAF war-hero, Sir Frank Worthington-Blythe. Maggies beau Tom Connor, paves the way for the sexy and charismatic Miss Nightingale to be born, and the musical duo quickly find themselves with a West-End hit! However, what the leading lady doesnt know, is that George and Sir Frank are hiding a secret and as Miss Nightingales success grows, so does a forbidden love between the two men! Miss Nightingale, the brand-new British musical, receives its West-End premiere at The Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino following five sold-out UK tours and a headline season at The Vaults in 2017. Having been hailed as one of the Guardians Top 50 must-sees, now is your chance to experience the show-stopping 1942 set musical, where gay glamour, vintage sounds and spunky Blitz spirit are brought sensationally to life. Immerse yourself in the wartime world of Miss Nightingale- youll laugh, youll cry, and youll want to come back for more. Book cabaret style seating now for an unrivalled West End experience unlike any other!
