Allegra

About Allegra

Allegra is a brand new comedy with music in London’s West End, starring Dame Maureen Lipman in the title role. Written by Olivier and Tony Award nominated playwright Peter Quilter, the writer of End of the Rainbow and Glorious!, it is directed and choreographed by Stephen Mear.

Allegra is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing. She bursts into song at home, in the street and even in local shops and cafés, while the orchestra sometimes exists only in her imagination and sometimes appears in the real world. Her brother Ronen and her carer Anna try to keep life steady as they work out how to protect someone they love without dimming the light that makes her who she is.

The show includes Singin’ in the Rain, Ain’t No Sunshine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Happy Days Are Here Again. Dame Maureen Lipman is making her first UK tour for 20 years.

Key facts: Written by Peter Quilter, directed and choreographed by Stephen Mear, and starring Dame Maureen Lipman. The production includes Singin’ in the Rain, Ain’t No Sunshine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Happy Days Are Here Again.
