Allegra

About Allegra

Allegra is a brand new heart-warming comedy with music at the West End, London. Written by Olivier and Tony Award nominated playwright Peter Quilter, it follows a title character who is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing.

At home, in the street, and even in local shops and cafés, Allegra bursts into song. Sometimes the orchestra exists only in her imagination; sometimes it spills into the real world, affecting the people around her. The story follows her devoted brother Ronen and her carer Anna as they try to support her without dimming the light that makes her who she is.

Dame Maureen Lipman stars in the title role in her first UK tour for 20 years. The production is directed and choreographed by three-time Olivier Award winner Stephen Mear and features musical numbers including Singin’ in the Rain, Ain’t No Sunshine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Happy Days Are Here Again.
