London Premiere of the award winning hit musical

Union Theatre, 3 - 27 March 2010

‘Rousing tunes, great music and strong performances…for a fraction of the price of a West End show’ ***** - Broadway Baby

‘The best new show to hail from Liverpool since Blood Brothers’ - Mark Shenton, The Stage

‘Andrew Wright’s choreography is downright breathtaking’ - Michael Coveney, Whatsonstage

‘Sensational…brilliantly executed choreography, eclipsing anything recently on the London fringe’ - The Londonist

Following a sell-out extended run at the Liverpool Playhouse and a 2008 TMA award for best musical, Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi finally arrives in London in an energetic new production.

1930’s Liverpool, and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood pour off the luxury liners for their first taste of England: a night in the city’s most fashionable hotel.

Amidst all the decadence, no-nonsense Alice from reception has fallen for the dashing Thompson from accounts - but fate, Hollywood, two wars and a dizzying array of staff and guests intervene in an epic love story spanning 60 years.

Written and directed by multi-award winning Phil Willmott, whose previous musicals include Dick Barton - Special Agent, A Christmas Carol and Around the World in 80 Days.
