Three towering talents play a cast of thousands in this new comedy of Biblical proportions by the Olivier Award-winning writer of the West End hit The 39 Steps.

A travelling theatre troupe of two actors and an opera singer arrive by camel in the ancient city of London to masterfully enact the greatest story ever told. 

Join the absurdly talented Maurice Rose (Hugh Dennis), the alarmingly unpredictable Ronald Bream RAC (John Marquez), and the distinguished diva Mrs Doreen Small (Lesley Garrett), in a hilarious Christmas comedy that conjures up the sublime, the ridiculous and the truly angelic.

Special notes

All audience members regardless of age require a ticket. Children must be able to sit unaided in their own seat.

Absolutely fantastic, How all 3 players managed not to corpse was amazing. It also led the audience through many emotions, with music perfectly sung without instruments. The audience participation was fun. It was like Cannon and Ball meets opera.

Carolyn Clements

Very funny. Hugh Dennis was excellent. Good use of audience participation too!

Samantha Gilbank

Great performance by all 3 stars, well worth a watch, plenty of laugh out loud moments!

Barry Cross

Mildly funny in place, the Messiah resembles a panto. However, worth going to see for the silliness and also to hear Lesley Garrett sing.

Di Shaw

Funny, clever, silly, touching, dramatic, operatic, & with audience participation - thoroughly enjoyed it.

Peter REDMAN

Still undecided!!!!!!!!!!!!

George Clarke

Excellent, really funny show telling the nativity story. Very well played only using 3 players. Laughed uproariously.

Mrs Norma A Jenns
