Following productions in New York and at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, the new musical World’s Greatest Lover is getting a London premiere.
The show will run at The Other Palace in London from 12 April to 7 June 2026.
An all-star cast includes X Factor winners Matt Terry as Cyrano de Bergerac and Dalton Harris as Val, and Union J boy band member Jaymi Hensley as Sade.
The cast also features West End stars Joaquin Pedro Valdes (The Baker’s Wife) as Romeo, Leonardo Vieira (Bat Out of Hell) as Caz, and Alex Hayden (The Book of Mormon) as off-stage swing.
World’s Greatest Lover features a pop score by Eurovision finalists Julien Salvia (music and book) and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal (lyrics and book), and the London production will be directed and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse (Smash, On the Town).
What’s the story of World’s Greatest Lover? For one unforgettable night, the greatest lovers of all time — Romeo, Casanova, Cyrano de Bergerac and the Marquis de Sade — reunite in a wildly entertaining, pop-powered battle to discover the truth about romance, reputation, and desire.
