From the Writer of Avenue Q

Choreographer and director Tom Jackson Greaves brings Broadway favourite Head Over Heels to the UK! The music of Belinda Carlisle's The Go-Go's meets the 16th Century long form poem Arcadia in this hugely original new show. Written by Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q) this irreverent musical is built around an Elizabethan-era plot involving plenty of cross-dressing, bed-hopping and mistaken identities.

Head Over Heels debuted at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2015 where it was met with wild acclaim. The Broadway production boasted Gwyneth Paltrow among its producers, with Tony-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening).
