Hit Broadway musical Promises, Promises returns to the London stage
Almost fifty years since its West End premiere, musical-comedy Promises, Promises receives a revival at Southwark Playhouse.

A triumph of 1960s sexual work-place politics, with a quick witted script and unforgettable songs including Knowing When To Leave, Promises, Promises, Say A Little Prayer For You, A House Is Not A Home and I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, this Tony Award nominated, Grammy Award winning musical comes to Southwark Playhouse.
Promises, Promises will run from 13 January 2017 until 18 February 2017 at the Southwark Playhouse.
