HAMILTON is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway - the story of America then, as told by America now.
Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, 7 Olivier Awards, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
Did you know…
20,520 words are sung throughout the show, at an average of 144 words per minute, and if Hamilton were sung at the pace of other musicals, it would take four to six hours to perform.
The rap in the show’s 18th track Guns and Ships is considered to be the fastest song in musical theatre, with an average of 6.3 words a second.
890km... is the distance the show’s two revolves (known as a donut!) have travelled over the course of 1500+ shows so far at the Victoria Palace Theatre. This is the same distance as driving from London to Munich.

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed fully-staged production of Boublil and Schönberg’s LES MISÉRABLES is playing at London’s Sondheim Theatre.
This brilliant new staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post), “the reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph) and “perfect theatre in a perfect theatre” (Sunday Telegraph).
Set amid the social and political struggles of 19th century France, West End favourite Les Misérables tells the story of former prisoner Jean Valjean, who is pursued for decades by his policeman nemesis, Javert. Their epic cat-and-mouse journey will take them from the French fields to the gritty Parisian sewers, amidst an enthralling story of broken dreams, unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs; ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, ‘On My Own’, ‘Bring Him Home’, ‘One Day More’, ‘Master Of The House’ and many more. Now, seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and in 22 languages, this spectacular musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece continues to thrill audiences night after night in London’s West End.

MARLEY WAS DEAD: TO BEGIN WITH.
Following a phenomenally successful run in 2021, Mark Gatiss’s retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story returns to the hauntingly atmospheric Alexandra Palace. Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

Lightroom
THE OBSERVER
Lightroom is an extraordinary fourstorey-high space in Kings Cross equipped with the latest digital projection and audio technology. Lightroom is London’s new home for spectacular artist-led shows.
Hockney uses the innovative venue to take the audience on a personal journey through his art, featuring iconic paintings alongside some rarely seen pieces and some newly created work.
His life-long fascination with the possibilities of new media is given vibrant expression in a show that invites visitors to see the world through his eyes. In a cycle of six themed chapters, with a specially composed score by Nico Muhly and a commentary by the artist himself, Hockney reveals his process to us. His voice is in our ears as we watch him experimenting with perspective, using photography as a way of ‘drawing with a camera’, capturing the passing of time in his polaroid collages and the joy of spring on his iPad, and showing us why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon.
Lightroom is located in King’s Cross on Lewis Cubitt Square, adjacent to Coal Drops Yard and Central St Martin’s. It was designed by Haworth Tompkins as a sister space to the award-winning Bridge Theatre in SE1.
