Today, 11February, Wilton’s Music Hall, announces its Summer2026 season - a programme of theatre, music and cinema. From musical journeys and thrilling comedy to bold reinterpretations and exciting theatrical experiences, there is something for everyone this summer.
The season opens with the return of “Scotland’s pre-eminent chanteuse”, Christine Bovill Presents Paris Revisited [14–18April], a sepiatinged celebration of the Golden Age of French song. With classics from Piaf, Brel, Trenet, Hardy and Ferre woven with evocative storytelling, Bovill conjures a Parisian twilight world of heroes, cynics, bruised romantics and glamour. Followed by, Biff to the Future [20–25April], presented by James Seabright, which turns the beloved Back to the Future trilogy on its head. In this awardwinning Edinburgh Fringe parody, the infamous Biff Tannen takes centre stage in a heartfelt and hilarious reimagining of his journey through time, directed by Daniel Clarkson and starring Joseph Maudsley.
Music Hall mischief arrives 27April with Ida Barr: Not Dead, as performed by Kit Green. Ida’s unique blend of classic music hall and Artificial Hip Hop creates a party vibe and The London Revue Company’s Cocktails with Joyce Grenfell [28April] transports audiences to 1940s Britain in a sparkling musical revue full of wit and timeless songs by Grenfell, Flanders & Swann and Noël Coward while cinema and live music collide in Dmytro Morykit Presents Nosferatu [29 April], a haunting live composer performance accompanying Murnau’s 1922 horror masterpiece with the last every performance.
May sees Tricity Vogue’s All Girl Swing Band [1 May] return to Wilton’s with their cabaret celebrating the rebel spirit of swing. Comedy favourite John Kearns performs his critically acclaimed stand-up, Tilting at Windmills, [12-13 May] that explores modern life’s absurdities with surreal intelligence.
Other highlights in May include Stroud Theatre’s Macbeth Alone, a visceral oneman dive into Shakespeare’s haunting tragedy. A stylish, evocative dancemusicsong production The Monocle [15&16May] from Rendez Vous Dance, easy singalong fun returns with Carradine’s Cockney SingALong featuring Tom Carradine and his China Plates [18 May & 10 June] and Steve Pretty (and friends) On the Origin of the Pieces [19 May]. Comedy, storytelling and cabaret continue throughout the month with VERYFINE Presents OneTrackMinds – 10th Anniversary Show [20 May], Alex McAleer – Mind Reader [21 May], and Country Mile Productions Presents John Tothill: This Must Be Heaven [22 May] one last London performance of the Edinburgh Comedy Awardnominated show. Family audiences can enjoy Holmes and Watson: The Curious Case of the Masked Magician, [26May] presented by The Great Baldini and Peter Clifford.
June sees Wilton’s welcome Sh!t Theatre in association with Judith Dimant Productions making their Wilton’s debut with Drink Rum with Expats, [2-6 June] a rollicking, politically sharp exploration of identity, community and belonging, alongside literary and theatrical landmarks including The Waste Land [11 – 13 June], where Nathaniel Parker’s dramatic reading and contextual exploration of T.S. Eliot’s modernist masterpiece imbues the poem with humour, depth and visceral resonance and Mrs Dalloway [15 – 20 June] a dazzling reimagining of Woolf’s novel where theatre, live music and film fuse to chart a single extraordinary day in the lives of its unforgettable characters.
Operatic comedy returns at the height of summer as Opera della Luna Presents The Chocolate Soldier [23 – 27 June], a fully staged production reviving Shaw’s characters and Oscar Straus’s effervescent score in the UK for the first time since Second World War followed by James Seabright presents Gill Hicks in STILL ALIVE (AND KICKING) [29 June - 1 July] a powerful, lifeaffirming performance from the multiawardwinning artist and 7/7 survivor, blending soulful jazz and brilliant storytelling.
July brings jazz, choral music and cabaret with the Brian Clemens Jazz Orchestra featuring Francesca Confortini in The Transatlantic Songbook, [2-3 July], and Spitalfields Music celebrating their 50th anniversary with a double bill with Tom Hickox featuring New Young Voice Collective and Mercury Songs [6 & 7 July]. Kit Green Productions Presents Tiddley Pom [8 July] CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation [10 July] keeps the pace lightning fast with a fully improvised murder mystery where the audience creates the crime and the cast has no idea who did it until the answers unfold.
Continuing in the month of July The Fourth Choir Presents Invisible Rainbows [13 July] which follows, a lush, queer choral exploration of jazz and pop from the ’50s to the ’80s and Ashes to Ashes [15-16 July] a David Bowie tribute that raises vital funds for cancer support. Glamour and big band brilliance shine on with London Gay Big Band Presents DIVAS – Legends Live Loud, [17 July] and laughter and adventure collide in Indy! [20 – 23 July], a breakneck comedy as three hapless archaeologists attempt to recreate the Indiana Jones trilogy live on stage.
Martin and Friends [24 July] bring cabaret joy and musical variety to the hall once again, offering pop, jazz, showtunes and heartfelt performance in support of the Bisi Alimi Foundation and Baluji Music Foundation presents Offering to the Sun [27 July] taking audiences on an immersive musical journey through the heat and beauty of Indian classical traditions, by the virtuoso sitar and storyteller Baluji Shrivastav OBE.
The season concludes with Silent Comedy Pick ’n’ Mix with Live Score [28– 31 July], a whirlwind celebration of silentera gems, including Nosferatu (1922), Pandora’s Box (1929) and Buster Keaton’s The General (1926), each accompanied by vibrant live piano scores that electrify laughter, horror and adventure alike.
Summer 2026 at Wilton’s Music Hall promises to be a season of irresistible variety, where laughter meets lyricism, imagination meets innovation, and every performance invites audiences to rediscover the magic of live theatre. Seasonal pizzas and bar snacks are served in the Mahogany Bar before evening shows.
