See first look photos of POLICE COPS: THE MUSICAL at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. The limited run will run through 20 April 2024. After five sell-out years at the Edinburgh Fringe, POLICE COPS return with a new version of their first ever musical.

Following a riotous hit run at Southwark Playhouse Borough in 2023, the critically acclaimed POLICE COPS: THE MUSICAL will return to London bigger and better than ever. 

The US police force perhaps isn’t the most obvious subject for a comedy musical, but Police Cops: The Musical turns an unlikely premise into a undeniable hit. Fresh from a hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe, this slick satire of the US eighties is enjoying yet more success in London. From the minds of trio Zachary Hunt, Nathan Parkinson and Tom Roe comes a full-throttle ride through the cliches of American action movies.

Following their performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August, POLICE COPS: THE MUSICAL has transferred to The Large at Southwark Playhouse Borough for a limited run through 14 October 2023. Check out all new photos from the production here!

After seeing Police Cops: Badass Be Thy Name and loving the group’s sense of humour and fantastic dynamic, I knew that I wanted to see their 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, Police Cops: The Musical. Somehow, this show managed to exceed my already high expectations, making for a perfect last show at the Fringe. 

Following their performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August, POLICE COPS: THE MUSICAL will transfer to The Large at Southwark Playhouse Borough for a limited run, from 8 September 2023 to 14 October 2023.
