Show information

THE GLORIOUS, MULTI-AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL FROM THE COMPOSER OF HAIR.

In small town California during World War II, young Homer delivers telegrams of love, joy and the sorrows of war. His mother prays for the safe return of his brother from the front line while his sister dreams that she too could fight for her country.

The Human Comedy is a timeless coming-of age story that celebrates the healing power of community and the unifying spirit of song.

The inspiring score of classic American swing, gospel, pop and folk is performed by a cast of celebrated musical theatre stars and a company of over 80 performers.

This rediscovered 80s Broadway hit has music by Galt MacDermot whose ground-breaking musical Hair has enjoyed a thrilling West End revival.
