    Pop Off, Michelangelo!

    The high-camp musical comedy that stole the Fringe makes its limited West End debut season.

    POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! tells the story of best-pals-turned-bitter-rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. A bloodthirsty friar is on the hunt for homosexuals in Renaissance Italy at the exact moment when childhood friends Mike and Leo realise they both like boys. Terrified, they devise a foolproof plan to gain God’s forgiveness: they simply need to become the greatest religious artists of all time.

    Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo ever shut up about his helicopter? Featuring an original electropop score as infectious as the bubonic plague, POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! is an unhinged adventure that you won’t want to miss.

    Starring RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist Michael Marouli as the Pope, bringing high-octane charisma and vocals sent straight from heaven to the West End stage, and returning cast fan-favourites Max Eade as Michelangelo and Aidan MacColl as Leonardo da Vinci, reprising their acclaimed roles.
