POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! to play limited run at Underbelly Boulevard Soho
Dylan MarcAurele’s Pop Off, Michelangelo! has announced its transfer to Underbelly Boulevard Soho for a limited five-week run, following its highly successful season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 and concert performances at The Other Palace.
Returning to London in a revitalised production, Pop Off, Michelangelo!, directed by Joe McNeice, begins performances on 17 May, running until 22 June. The full cast and creative team will be announced shortly.
A smash hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it received a Popcorn Award Special Mention, MarcAurele and McNeice reunite to take you on a wild ride through Renaissance Italy. Pop off, Michelangelo! is a high-camp musical comedy telling the (somewhat edited) history of two of Italy’s greatest artists, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, as they both race to create the most legendary religious masterpieces.
Dylan MarcAurele said: “I am so excited to be bringing Pop Off, Michelangelo! to London audiences, especially in such a vibrant and dynamic venue that is Underbelly Boulevard Soho.
“With the vision of director Joe McNeice and the brilliant Blair Russell at the helm, this camp artistic rivalry promises over-the-top drama and uplifting singable anthems. It’s a love letter to artistic ambition, queer identity, and a wildly inaccurate version of history. Expect electropop bangers, and a whole lot of divine intervention (or lack thereof). It’s ridiculous and heartfelt, and most importantly, a whole lot of fun.”
