Gloria The Musical - The Showcase

Gloria The Musical: The Showcase

You are invited to an exclusive one-night-only showcase of songs from Gloria The Musical, a bold and epic new musical that blends West End polish with vibrant Afrobeats to tell a story of migration, identity, and what it means to belong in modern England.

Join us in the beautiful and historic surroundings of St James's Church, Piccadilly, for a narrated presentation of eight key songs from the show. Performed by a cast of leading West End vocalists and a full professional band, this is your chance to be among the first to hear the unforgettable music from this major new work before its journey to the West End stage.

This is more than just a concert; it's a unique cultural moment. Our venue, St James's Church, Piccadilly, has a profound connection to our story. The pioneering Ghanaian abolitionist and author Ottobah Cugoano, who appears as a key character in the musical, was baptised in this very church in 1773. By attending, you will experience a powerful, site-specific event that brings history to life.

Gloria The Musical tells the story of Gloria, a young musician from Accra, who dreams her way into the heart of a contemporary Britain grappling with its past and searching for its future. It is a story of love, courage, and the power of one voice to inspire a nation.

Gloria The Musical is a new, independent production. By purchasing a ticket for this showcase, you are not just attending a unique event; you are becoming a foundational supporter of this exciting project. Every ticket sold directly funds the development of the show and helps us take the next crucial step on our journey to a full stage production in 2026.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music and storytelling, and be part of the birth of a new musical for the New England.
