The Show on the Roof
musical
This joyful new musical THE SHOW ON THE ROOF comes to London’s King’s Head Theatre for a limited season!
Created by Tom Ford and Alex Syiek and directed by Rory Pelsue, THE SHOW ON THE ROOF shines a light on a pivotal yet overlooked chapter of LGBTQ+ history. It’s a poignant reminder of how far we’ve come since 1955, and how much further we still have to go.

Welcome to the Howdy Pardner Drive-In, Boise, Idaho, USA. Each night, Al Travelstead puts on a floor show… on the roof!
But tonight will be a little different. Tonight Al tells the story he doesn’t want to tell. The story of what happened back in 1955 when moral panic swept through the community. When fear and suspicion over hidden lives sent this town into a tailspin. Will Al’s Show on the Roof reveal the truth behind the tunes? The secrets beneath the sequins? Well you’ll just have to find out for yourself…
Tickets are available for performances from Friday 11th July to Saturday 16th August 2025
