Garry Lake, in association with Waterloo East Theatre, presents his musical comedy JEST END now through 6 December 2015. Press night is tonight 26 November.

JEST END is back! The hit comedy musical show exploring and "exposing" the hits, flops and gossip of Theatreland, returns later this year following its previous success. Labeled as London's answer to Forbidden Broadway JEST END has been going from strength to strength since the birth of the show at Jermyn Street Theatre 2007.

Created and directed by British composer Garry Lake (Composer/Lyricist of Social Media Musical LIKE ME) JEST END continues to provide London audiences with a fresh up to date comedy, one that is proving to be a smash hit for musical theatre fans of all ages.

The show will be choreographed by Rebecca Howell with musical direction by James Doughty, set design by Sebastian Noel, sound by Gareth Tucker and lighting by Jack Weir.

The cast features Simon Bailey (I CAN'T SING, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, PASSION), Lizzy Connolly (MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS), Scott Garnham (GRAND HOTEL, I CAN'T SING, TITANIC, LES MISERABLES) and Jodie Jacobs (CARRIE, LEGALLY BLONDE, ROCK OF AGES).

The comedy show provides audiences with a take on the latest and most popular musicals in the West End. Some of the musicals included are WICKED, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, MATILDA, BILLY ELLIOT, GUYS AND DOLLS, MISS SAIGON, SUNNY AFTERNOON, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and JERSEY BOYS. Past guests of the show have included Louise Dearman and Rachel Tucker.
