29 April – 16 May
Obsession or salvation? One kiss from the Spider Woman can change everything.
From legendary songwriting duo Kander and Ebb, the creators of Cabaret and Chicago, thrilling musical Kiss of the Spider Woman returns in an electrifying new production directed by Paul Foster (A Little Night Music, Watermill Theatre; Kiss Me, Kate, Sheffield Crucible).
In a brutal prison, Molina – condemned for his sexuality, and Valentin – a political prisoner, are forced into an unlikely friendship in the cell they share. To escape their harsh reality, Molina conjures dazzling fantasies of glamorous movies, spinning tales of the seductive and dangerous Spider Woman. As their conditions worsen and the line between truth and fiction blurs, the two men find a deeper connection – one that could cost them everything.
Adapted for the stage by Terrence McNally from Manuel Puig’s unforgettable novel, the original Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
This daring new production stars the phenomenal George Blagden (BBC’s Versailles, Netflix’s Black Mirror), Anna-Jane Casey (West End’s Cabaret, Billy Elliot) and Fabian Soto Pacheco (Dear Evan Hansen, Luciernaga Producciónes, Teatro Auditorio Nacional, Costa Rica; Guys & Dolls, Frinton Summer Theatre).
