About the Show

A glitter-soaked electropop musical where Oscar Wilde reigns in a post-apocalyptic disco.

OSCAR at The Crown is back and bigger than ever, hailed as “London’s hottest new musical” (Attitude) and extended after dazzling audiences with its glitter-soaked, rebellious energy.

With an original electropop score by Andrew Barret Cox (composer for Drag Race royalty), the production invites audiences into an unabashedly bold and joyful celebration of freedom, queerness, and self-expression. “Absurdly enjoyable” (Time Out) and “loud and proud” (Independent), this is the musical you never knew you needed — unapologetic, outrageous, and utterly unforgettable.

"I’m grateful that the “immersive” element of the show is more installation than participation"
