About the Show

The UK premiere of Nora Brigid Monahan & Alexander Sage Oyen's love letter to Broadway.

Join Desmond Channing in hell’s most squalid cabaret club - the Seventh Circle - as he recounts the grisly events that led him there. Inspired by the 1950s movie 'All About Eve', 'Diva: Live From Hell!' is a one-act solo show that will take you through the depths of hell and explores how someone earns the title of diva!

Luke Bayer ('Everybody's Talking About Jamie') stars in this comedy musical.

"A magnetic production with tons of cheek and a true diva spirit, this should not be missed."

"In all honesty, if relentless musical theatre references and high camp get on your nerves, then you may want to knock at least one star off this four-star rating."

"As boutique musicals go, 'Diva: Live From Hell!' suffers from a few minor missteps, but this version sizzles with slick production values, a sharp live band led by musical director Debbi Clarke and a bravura performance from its star."

"A true theatrical highlight of the year, killing all competition. It may only be playing here for a short time, but a show as hot and fiery as this deserves a never-ending residency. 'DIVA' really is one Hell of a show."

"Perhaps it would have been nice to see the other characters in Desmond’s story played by other actors ... Bayer carries off the switching of roles beautifully and humorously and it certainly works for the story. However, there is definitely scope for expansion... It was a delight to watch and an excellent way to spend one’s evening."
