A concert performance of new musical To Sir, With Love is set to play the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London this November.
To Sir, With Love – A New Musical will have two concert performances at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on Monday 24 November 2025.
British music icon, actress and Grammy-nominee Lulu is set to join the cast of the show, returning to the story that launched her global career in the much-loved 1967 film opposite Sidney Poitier.
This newly reimagined stage adaptation of E.R. Braithwaite’s memoir features music and lyrics by John Farrar and Kara DioGuardi, and is directed by Sheldon Epps.
The concert will also feature the legendary title song “To Sir, with Love” by Mark London and Don Black.
The creative team of To Sir, With Love also includes music director Kenny Seymour (Ain’t Too Proud), casting by Debbie O’Brien, musical arrangements by Eve Nelson, musical supervision and orchestration by Joseph Joubert, dramaturgy by Shereen Jasmin Phillips and choreography by Edgar Godineaux.
Further casting and creative team announcements are to follow.
The story of To Sir, With Love explores race, class, resilience, and the power of respect. Rick Braithwaite is more than just a Cambridge-educated engineer and a former RAF fighter pilot; he’s a man battling societal prejudices at every turn. Refusing to bow to adversity, he engages his students not as troublesome youths but as emerging adults who must soon navigate a world where they’ll stand or fall on their own merits. Through a balance of grit and grace, he aims to prepare them for more than just exams; he prepares them for life.
The concert is produced by Lythgoe Productions and Darren Bell, with Willette and Manny Klausner as co-producers.
To Sir, With Love – A New Musical is playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on 24 November 2025 at 2.30pm and 7.45pm.
