Get To Sir, With Love tickets starring Lulu & Wayne Brady

For one unforgettable day only, E.R. Braithwaite’s beloved memoir comes to life in To Sir, With Love – A New Musical, a special concert performance at London’s Gillian Lynne Theatre.

British music legend Lulu returns to the story that launched her career in the iconic 1967 film, joined by a stellar cast including American TV and stage star Wayne Brady (How I Met Your Mother, Moulin Rouge!).

Directed by Sheldon Epps with musical direction by Kenny Seymour, the show features the timeless title song “To Sir, with Love” and an original score by John Farrar and Kara DioGuardi.

This moving production follows teacher Rick Braithwaite as he inspires a class of troubled youths while confronting deep‑rooted prejudice.

With soaring new music, heartfelt performances, and a story that still resonates today, this concert staging promises to be a highlight of the theatre calendar.

To Sir, With Love – A New Musical will be performed in concert on Monday 24 November 2025 at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London.

To Sir, With Love - Casting

Immortalised by Sidney Poitier’s captivating performance in the 1967 cinematic masterpiece, To Sir With Love is an autobiographical story that is every bit as relevant then, as it is today. 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.
