Allegra

About Allegra

Allegra is a brand new comedy with music from Peter Quilter, the Olivier and Tony Award nominated writer of End of the Rainbow and Glorious!. Dame Maureen Lipman stars in the title role, and the show is directed and choreographed by three-time Olivier Award winner Stephen Mear.

Allegra is full of life and has an irresistible urge to sing, bursting into song at home, in the street and even in local shops and cafés. Sometimes the orchestra plays only in her imagination, and sometimes it spills into the real world, affecting everyone around her.

Her brother Ronen and her carer Anna do their best to keep life steady while protecting the person they love. The story is framed as a comedy about family, love and holding on to joy for as long as possible.

Key facts: The production features musical numbers including Singin’ in the Rain, Ain’t No Sunshine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Happy Days Are Here Again. It also marks Dame Maureen Lipman’s first UK tour for 20 years.
