Pop Off, Michelangelo! @ Underbelly Boulevard, London

The high-camp musical comedy that took Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm makes its West End debut with a strictly limited season! POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! is the musical comedy about besties-turned-bitter rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. After realising theyre both gay, the two childhood friends attempt to earn divine forgiveness by becoming the greatest religious artists of all time. Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo shut up about his helicopter? With an electropop original score as infectious as the bubonic plague played by a live band, and a script that has not been remotely fact-checked, this brand new Renaissance adventure is both hilarious and unhinged.
