London on 18 - 31 Jul - 2.30pm, 7.15pm
The European premiere of the off-Broadway hit. Millennial fashion designer Wes has just purchased an abandoned building, but little does he know that this forgotten gem was the UpStairs Lounge, a vibrant 70s gay bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, starting an exhilarating journey of seduction and self-exploration in the summertime heat with the rush of lust, sex and incense mixed in the air. THIS IS NOT JUST A MUSICAL; ITS AN ACT OF ACTIVISM. ★★★★★ British Theatre A provocative new musical, The View UpStairs is inspired by the true story of the 1973 arson attack that was the largest single attack against the LGBTQ+ community until the Pulse Nightclub shootings in Florida in 2016. Filled with a collection of beautiful love songs and power rock ballads, this is a musical about friendship, community, how far weve come and how far we still have yet to go. It is a story of hope; and its a rainbow rollercoaster you do not want to miss. A MOVING HOMAGE TO LGBT CULTURE PAST AND PRESENT. Entertainment Weekly Now and forever, come whatever.
