Grayson The Musical in London

Grayson The Musical comes to London in a bold new production inspired by the extraordinary life of Turner Prize and BAFTA-winning artist Sir Grayson Perry.

Directed by double Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (Dr. Strangelove, The Ladykillers), this funny, irreverent and unexpectedly moving new musical follows Grayson Perry’s journey from an Essex council estate to the heights of the contemporary art world.

Featuring music by Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer: The Opera), a book by Sara-Ella Ozbek and lyrics and life story by Grayson Perry himself, the show combines outrageous comedy with emotional honesty in a story about identity, creativity and self-acceptance.

Packed with sharp humour, original songs and larger-than-life characters – including a six-foot teddy bear named Alan – Grayson The Musical is a joyous new British musical celebrating individuality and embracing who you truly are.
