Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents’ 1964 musical is a political satire about conformity and the ostracisation of those considered ‘other’ in society.
Set in a fictional town where the government controls everything, even the miracles, this fast paced and off-the-wall musical is as hilarious as it is subversive.
Tickets are on sale online now from southwarkplayhouse.co.uk.
Anyone Can Whistle first opened on Broadway in 1964 with Angela Lansbury leading the cast but closed after just 21 performances.
The show was most recently seen in London at the Union Theatre in 2017.
