come dancing!

Following the surge of band biopic musicals currently drawing in audiences in the West End such as Jersey Boys, Let It Be, and The Commitments, The Kinks are the latest band to be immortalised in the West End, following "A Sunny Afternoon"'s successful stint at the Hampstead Theatre.

Hark back to those golden days astride the conservative Fifties and free-wheeling Sixties, where Ray Davies and the band work their way to success in Britain, then the States, before getting barred for their on-stage rowdy antics at the height of the British Invasion.

With music and lyrics by Ray Davies and book by Joe Penhall, we will experience the stratospheric heights - as well as those agonising lows - of one of the most iconic bands of the Sixties.

Not just dedicated followers of fashion, the story of Sunny Afternoon

In 1963, a group of mouthy lads from Muswell Hill, led by brothers Ray and Dave Davies set out to change the world with their hard-rocking and witty social commentary. More anarchic than the Beatles, they led the way in crushed velvet suits and Chelsea boots, stomping a riotous path to America, with a few breaks to swing from the chandeliers along the way. From London to state-side, Ray's sensitive lyrics were combined with Dave's high-kicking antics, leading to an unheard of four year ban from the U.S, to depressed poverty in London and an uproarious comeback in the wave of the World Cup optimism of 1966. This is the definitive story of The Kinks and we dare you not to dance all the way home.
