Please Please Me Tickets London
Please Please Me is the electrifying story of Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles – his meteoric rise and his hidden struggles.
This show has now closed. Please Please Me ran at the Kiln Theatre in London from 16 April to 29 May 2026.
★★★★ “Fascinating” (The Guardian)
When Brian Epstein steps into the Cavern Club, he finds more than just a band – he finds his life’s calling.
Captivated by four rugged boys from Liverpool, he sets out to transform them into The Beatles – the most famous group on Earth.
But as the world begins to worship his Fab Four, Brian wrestles with secrets, longing, and love – especially for his charismatic frontman, John Lennon. Please Please Me is the fascinating true story of the ‘Fifth Beatle’, Brian Epstein.
A stellar cast includes TV and stage star Calam Lynch (Sweetpea, What It Feels Like For A Girl, Miss Austen) as Brian Epstein, and Olivier Award-winner Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Next to Normal, Matilda) as Cynthia and Cilla.
