Late Company - 2017 West End History , Info & More

Trafalgar Theatre (Formally Trafalgar Studios 2
14 Whitehall, Westminster, London SW1A 2DY, United Kingdom London

Sparking passionate debate, Late Company explores restorative justice, cyber bullying, and the ever-changing complexities of parenthood in the 21st century.

A successful middle-class couple's lives are irrevocably changed after their teenage son is mercilessly bullied for being gay. In an attempt to 'move on' they invite his chief tormentor, and his parents, to a dinner party.

Far from finding the peace they seek, the dinner strips bare their good intentions to reveal layers of parental, sexual and political hypocrisy.

Review: IN THE HEIGHTS Returns to Musical Theatre West
by Michael Quintos - Apr 13, 2026


Bursting with contagious rhythm, irrepressible heart, and an abiding sense of community pride, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning 2008 original Broadway musical IN THE HEIGHTS remains one of the most vibrant and emotionally resonant contemporary musicals to emerge from the early 21st century. For Musical Theatre West, this current 2026 production of the musical—which continues performances at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach through April 26, 2026—is an anticipated return of a musical that this company first staged back in the Fall of 2017.
