Miss Nightingale the musical
  • London Fringe

1942. A smoky, underground cabaret club opens in the heart of war-torn London. A saucy new singer is thrust into the spotlight. Two men struggle to bring their love out of the shadows. A world in turmoil where aristocrats slum it with black market spivs, songwriters take to the streets, and showgirls fight to change the world.

When secrets are revealed, the only resistance is to stand up and be counted.

A deeply touching and raucously funny tale of prejudice, passion and debauchery during the dark days of World War Two. Miss Nightingale brings the scandals, satire, and spunky spirit of the Forties sensationally to life.

Voted one of the Guardians Top 50 Shows of 2016 and one of British Theatre's Top 100 Greatest Musicals of all time, now after five triumphant UK tours you can finally enjoy the hit show in London at The Vaults.

As the so-called Free World seems to be turning its back on homosexuality, the hilarious and heart-warming Miss Nightingale is a timely reminder of the progress weve made but the steps we have still to travel.

Youll laugh. Youll cry. Youll cheer for more!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
