NOW EXTENDED TO 24 AUGUST 2024

Direct from a critically acclaimed New York premiere, sharp new comedy I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire premieres at Southwark Playhouse Borough in London.

Starring Tessa Albertson (Shrek The Musical, Younger, Generation) following her New York premiere in the show, I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is a full-throttle theatrical explosion reminding us that with great obsession comes great heartache!

This uproarious Y2K farce by Samantha Hurley is by turns imaginative and original, and hilariously provocative.

The cast also includes Kyle Birch (A Strange Loop, The Color Purple) as Brenda Dee Cankles, and Anders Hayward (Adults, Vigil) as Tobey Maguire.

I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is playing from 28 June to 24 August 2024 at Southwark Playhouse Borough.

To cope with the absence of her father, neglect of her mother, and ridicule by her classmates, eighth grader Shelby Hinkley has put all of her time and energy into the only thing that matters in 2004: Spiderman. When leading a devout online fan club proves insufficient to her needs, Shelby decides to risk it all for love, kidnap famous actor Tobey Maguire, and marry him in her basement. Her fantasies of happily ever after start to crumble as she realizes Tobey may not be the charismatic, heartthrob actor she thinks she knows.
