A new performer takes on the role of Andrew Lloyd Webber
One Man Musical will return to Soho Theatre this summer before heading back to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Created by musical comedy duo Flo and Joan, the show will run at Soho Theatre from 17 June to 3 July, with performances at 9pm, before transferring to Pleasance Beyond at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 5 to 30 August.
The latest run will star Edward Easton in the title role. Featuring live music from Flo and Joan, the musical centres on a musical theatre performer (who they can’t tell you is Andrew Lloyd Webber, but we can) who decides to tell his own story. Easton takes over the role from SNL UK star George Fouracres, who appeared in previous productions in Edinburgh and London.
The production premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024 before subsequent runs at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Soho Theatre and Underbelly Boulevard. It received the award for Best Production at the 2026 Offies and has also been recognised at the Chortle Awards, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Awards and Stage Debut Awards.
The show is presented by Avalon and directed by Georgie Staight, whose theatre credits include Operation Mincemeat, Dawn French Is A Huge Tw*t and The Wizard of Oz.
