About the Show

Rookie police officer, Jimmy Johnson, has joined the force to protect and serve… but when he's partnered up with a renegade cop and a racist Chief, he realizes that he's gotten more than he bargained for. With guns loaded, Jimmy sets off on an adventure from the USA to Mexico, where destiny awaits in the form of jaded ex-Cop Juanita Gonzalez.

Multi-award-winning Police Cops return to the Southwark Playhouse with an ensemble of performers and original songs in their comedy musical.

This production is recommended for ages 12+.

For a previous production

“‘Police Cops: The Musical ’is an unlikely gem, combining wacky satiric comedy with slick, professional musical theatre...this is a show with cult classic potential. It’s impossible not to spend the whole time grinning, and it’s absolutely some of the most fun you can have at the theatre. This story of the ‘best damn police cop’ is some of the best damn musical comedy around.”

For a previous production

"Matt Cole provides some wildly witty and inventive choreography with some of the funniest visual routines I’ve ever seen....It’s a riotous love letter to the movies of the ’80s and an absurd comedy...definitely very good company. It’s an absolute blast!"

For a previous production

"For original content it is remarkably high quality, delivered by a cast clearly having the time of their lives, and it is packed with so much satire and societal commentary which is impossible to pick up in its entirety on first viewing."
