Those who can teach, can change lives.

TO SIR, WITH LOVE is a powerful new musical that brings a beloved story to life with soaring emotion, unforgettable melodies and, at its core, a deeply human heart. 

Olivier Award winner Matt Henry MBE (Kinky Boots, The Devil Wears Prada) stars as Mr Braithwaite alongside Lucy Benjamin (EastEnders, Detectorists), Ben Richards (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, The Bodyguard), Georgia May Foote (Coronation Street, Strictly Come Dancing) and Olivier Award nominee Amy Di Bartolomeo (The Devil Wears Prada, SIX). 

Featuring the iconic title song made famous by Lulu and an original score by John Farrar (Grease, Xanadu) and Kara DioGuardi (American Idol), this fresh adaptation brings E. R. Braithwaite’s poignant true story, which inspired the much-loved film starring Sidney Poitier, to the stage in a vibrant, uplifting theatrical experience. 

In London’s post-war East End, a talented young Black man whose ambitions have been frustrated by prejudice takes on a defiant class of teenagers searching for their place in the world. Determined to see potential where others see a lost cause, Mr Braithwaite sets out to earn their trust. As his pupils embark on their own coming-of-age journeys, he discovers that they have lessons of their own to teach him. 

Filled with humour, heart and stirring music, TO SIR, WITH LOVE celebrates the dedication and tireless work of teachers – and the courage it takes to believe in one another.
