Cable Street completed its London run at the Marylebone Theatre on 28 February 2026, following two previously sell-out seasons.
★★★★★ “Glorious” (What’s On Stage)
This acclaimed British musical told the powerful true story of the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, alongside the lives of those living in London’s East End during the 1930s.
The story centred on three young workers: Polish Jew Sammy; Irish Catholic Mairead; and Lancastrian Brit Ron. As political tensions rose, the musical explored which side the young protagonists — and their families — chose to stand on.
The cast included Olivier Award nominee Debbie Chazen (Murder on the Orient Express, Jews. In Their Own Words) and Olivier Award-nominated musical theatre star Preeya Kalidas (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie).
Directed by Adam Lenson, Cable Street was written by composer and lyricist Tim Gilvin and playwright Alex Kanefsky.
Cable Street played at the Marylebone Theatre in London from 16 January to 28 February 2026.

It’s October 1936 in the heart of London’s East End.
Sammy, Mairead and Ron are carving out their own futures on Cable Street when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists start to march on East London.
Half a million Jews, Irish workers and communists unite to blockade the road they call home.
As the people raise their voices and take a united stand against hatred, the lives of the streets’ residents are changed forever.
