Hit new immersive show Oscar at The Crown is set to play in a new underground venue on Tottenham Court Road in London this summer 2025.
The underground, dystopian dance party is set to hit London’s West End this May 2025, and centres on historic queer playwright and author Oscar Wilde.
The show ran at the Edinburgh Fringe last summer, and was originally performed in Brooklyn gay bar 3 Dollar Bill, where the New York Times described it as “a party-inducing Rocky Horror transplanted to a 1990s Madonna video”!
Its London home is to be a brand new, purpose-built bunker on Tottenham Court Road, which will also run other entertainment. The new venue is part of a collaboration between the Path Entertainment Group and musicals producers ROYO, whose other current shows include tours Here & Now – The Steps Musical, 13 Going on 30 The Musical and Kinky Boots starring Johannes Radebe.
Oscar at the Crown is created by queer American theatre space The Neon Coven, and is written by Mark Mauriello, who will also reprise his role as Oscar Wilde.
The creative team for the show also features composer, lyricist and choreographer Andrew Barret Cox – creator of the biggest RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni hits, and director Shira Milikowsky.
Other creatives include Music Production by Gary Hickenson; Set & Lighting Design by Andrew Exeter; Sound Design by Dan Samson; Video Design by Nina Dunn; and Casting by Will Burton.
Writers Andrew Barret Cox and Mark Mauriello said in a statement: “It’s a dream to finally bring Oscar to London, especially alongside a team bold and mad enough to open a whole new nightclub for the show to call home. Absolutely crazy. “The venue is the setting, baby. You’re about to be in it. And we think it’s gonna be really freaking fun. Welcome to The Crown!”
The show is produced by ROYO and Gold Sky.
Oscar at the Crown is playing on Tottenham Court Road in London from 19 May 2025.
