  • Extended for three final weeks - must end 5 May!
    Following its hugely successful premiere at Bristol Old Vic, the critically acclaimed new musical The Grinning Man has transferred to the West End and “demands to be seen” (The Times).
    From Tony Award-winning director Tom Morris (War Horse) and writer Carl Grose (Kneehigh) and featuring “an outstanding score” (Sunday Times) by Tim Phillips and Marc Teitler, The Grinning Man is a magical reimagining of the classic novel by Victor Hugo (Les Misérables).
    A strange new act has arrived at the fairground. Who is Grinpayne and how did he get his hideous smile? Paraded as a freak, then celebrated as a star, only the love of a sightless girl can reveal his terrible secret.
    Set in a fantastical world created by designer Jon Bausor (Bat Out of Hell), and brought to life with the “astonishing puppetry” (What’s on Stage) of Gyre & Gimble, the original War Horse puppeteers, The Grinning Man invites you to be seduced by the darkness at the Trafalgar Studios.
    At Trafalgar Studios until 5 May 2018, book your The Grinning Man tickets today! 
    Please note: Recommended for brave 12-year-olds and above. Some scenes contain sexual references and swearing.
