Get tickets to The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs in London starring Leah Harvey

Don’t miss the feel-good musical comedy The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs at the Kiln Theatre in London.

The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs, the only lesbian choir in the country, are trying to win their place on the Pride mainstage.

In a run-down church hall with an OWL (Older, Wiser Lesbian) at the helm, the rag tag choir navigate love, loss, and trying to agree on song choices. But despite their best intentions, they find that harmony comes at a price.

Packed with laugh out loud moments and lots of lesbian drama, this heart-warming musical comedy returns to London following its sold-out premiere at Soho Theatre in 2022.

A fabulous cast includes Olivier Award-winner Liz Carr (The Normal Heart), stage and screen star Leah Harvey (Sweetpea, Foundation) and Georgie Henley (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Diplomat).

The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs is playing at the Kiln Theatre in London from 13 June to 12 July 2025.
