A total sell-out at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, two riotous hit runs at Southwark Playhouse and two Off West End Theatre Awards (Best New Musical, Best Choreography) – and that was just the first draft.

Now directed by Sean Foley (Dr Strangelove, The Ladykillers), the critically acclaimed ‘hilarious’, ‘bonkers’ and ‘dazzling’ POLICE COPS THE MUSICAL returns for a limited Work-in-Progress workshop presentation. Expect scripts in hand, plenty of chaos and a rare opportunity to experience the show’s next evolution before anyone else.

New songs. New characters. New-dity? There’s only one way to find out. Join us for a sneak peek of what’s already been called ‘the funniest musical since The Book of Mormon’ (Attitude Mag).

USA, 1980. In an era of tight jeans, fast cars and uncompromising facial hair, a pair of mismatched police cops are on the case to bring down the baddest cat in America!

Police Cops The Musical... All singing, all dancing, all guns blazing.

Written by multi award-winning comedy company POLICE COPS, with an original score by Brit Award-winning Ben Adams (Eugenius), POLICE COPS THE MUSICAL returns with more madness, more jokes and even more lucky eggs.

★★★★★ (WhatsOnStage) ‘A riotous love letter to the movies of the ’80s and an absurd comedy that sits amongst the likes of Airplane and The Naked Gun – definitely very good company. It’s an absolute blast!’

★★★★ (Daily Mail) ‘This new musical is unashamedly entertaining…I laughed and laughed! Bullet-quick comic timing.’

★★★★★ (All That Dazzles) ‘My face was hurting from laughing…stupendously successful, and already proving addictive.’
