Oscar @ The Crown (until Jan 2026)

Londons hottest new musical (Attitude) reigns on! OSCAR at The Crown has extended, lighting up the capital with glitter and rebellion (BBC London) until January 2026. For a strictly limited engagement, Jan Sport (RuPauls Drag Race, RuPauls Drag Race All Stars) snatches the crown as Oscar Wilde - historys most flamboyant icon (until 16 November). Get ready, London, this is Jan like youve never seen her before, reigning supreme in a post-apocalyptic, gorgeously camp disco (WhatsOnStage). The world is ending and all that remains are jaw-dropping vocals, reality TV, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde. Fun, right? Everyone is welcome in our bunker for an absurdly enjoyable (Time Out) evening like no other. At The Crown, the music pumps with an original electropop score by Andrew Barret Cox (composer to Drag Race royalty). This is the unapologetically loud and proud (Independent) musical you never knew you needed. No expectations, no inhibitions, just pure, unfiltered freedom, unlike anything else (Metro). Long live The Crown! Come and feel the Jantasy.
