Get Here Comes J. Edgar London tickets starring Bryan Batt

Get tickets to the world premiere of Here Comes J. Edgar! at King’s Head Theatre London – a new irrepressible musical comedy about the love of power and the power of love starring Mad Men’s Bryan Batt.

Get ready for a dazzling new musical comedy! Book tickets now for the world premiere of Here Comes J. Edgar! – playing at the King’s Head Theatre London from 10 July to 16 August 2026.

From the mind of legendary satirist Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Spinal Tap) and comedy writer Tom Leopold (Cheers, Seinfeld), with music by Grammy Award-winning composer Peter Matz (Barbra Streisand, Burt Bacharach), this outrageous new show tells the story of one of the most powerful men in American history – but with a fabulously comic twist.

As Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover held secrets that shook a nation. But what about his own? Behind the politics lay flamboyant parties, a hidden love affair, and a penchant for pearls and little black dresses. Packed with biting satire, sparkling music and plenty of scandal, Here Comes J. Edgar! is a fresh, hilarious musical that shines a spotlight on power, secrecy, and love.

Don’t miss this irrepressible world premiere – a bold new musical that promises laughs, music, and a story you won’t believe!
