King’s Head Theatre announces three new musicals as part of Spring 2025 season
King’s Head Theatre have announced their Spring 2025 season, which will feature three new full-length musicals and four new plays.
Stalled: A New Musical by Liesl Wilke and Andy Marsh will run from 13 February - 23 March 2025 at the Islington Square venue. In a bougie-ass Seattle ladies’ room, meet a frazzled mother, a neurodivergent daughter, a young, nonbinary poet and a terrified, queer computer scientist. With soul-stirring melodies and a rare authenticity, Stalled: A New Musical was developed in a full reading on Broadway and workshop production in LA. This production sees the world premiere of this new musical, with tickets on sale on 22 October.
King of Pangea, with a book, music and lyrics by Martin Storrow, will play from 7 June - 6 July 2025; a breakout hit with audiences at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s New Musicals Festival. When Christopher Crow faces a tragic loss, he escapes to the only place that makes sense – Pangea, the imaginary island of his childhood. Based on the author’s authentic experience, this wholly original and soul-stirring folk musical is a celebration of the extraordinary power of hope.
This trio of new full-length musicals concludes with Tom Ford & Alex Syiek’s The Show on the Roof, playing from 11 July - 16 August 2025. The show dramatises a series of investigations and arrests of queer men in Boise, Idaho in the 1950s. This toe-tapping new musical shines a light on a pivotal yet overlooked chapter of LGBTQ+ history, which remains a watershed moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the USA. Following its premiere in Boise in 2022, this will be the musical’s European premiere.
Executive Producer and Acting CEO Sofi Berenger said: “Less than a year into the new theatre it feels amazing to be able to announce this season of work and present not one, but three new full-length musicals Stalled, King of Pangea and The Show on the Roof, which will mark our first major musical productions in the new theatre; and four brand new plays. I’m especially excited that 50% of our season is written, directed and produced by female or non-binary creatives, and we continue to have predominantly LGBTQ+ work on our stages. This includes Firebird and a repertoire of two new plays by female writers, directors and producers featuring Puppy playing over Lesbian Visibility Week and our former artistic director Hannah Price making her debut on our new stage with (This is not a) Happy Room. And finally, with a Labour government back after 14 years we’re rounding off the season with The Gang of Three. But I can assure you, that's not all we’re working on and there's some more exciting casting and other announcements to come.”
