Wolf of Wall Street

Stratton Oakmont (Moorgate)
Jordan Belfort. Stock-market millionaire at 26. Federal convict at 36. By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could.
From the Olivier Award winning producers of The Great Gatsby, London’s longest running immersive theatre production, The Wolf of Wall Street is a ground-breaking immersive show. Experience Jordan’s climb to power and craving for excess as the action unfolds around you in an extraordinary new performance space spread across four floors in Central London.
Become a Master of the Universe with the brokers who broke Wall Street-or sign up to help the FBI take down some of the most notorious criminal entrepreneurs of our time. You’re either with him or you’re against him.

Dear Evan Hansen
Opening October 30 (Booking until April 2020)
Noel Coward Theatre (Leicester Square)
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.
Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new musical about life and the way we live it.
Dear Evan Hansen has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics everywhere. The New York Times calls it “a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical.” And NBC Nightly News calls this bold new musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”

Lungs
October 14-November 9
The Old Vic (Waterloo)
“I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years and still not leave a carbon footprint as big as if I have a child. Ten thousand tonnes of CO2. That’s the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I’d be giving birth to the Eiffel Tower.”
The ice caps are melting, there’s overpopulation, political unrest; everything’s going to hell in a handcart – why on earth would someone bring a baby into this world?
Directed by Matthew Warchus, Claire Foy and Matt Smith perform in Duncan Macmillan’s hilarious emotional rollercoaster of a play about a couple wrestling with life’s biggest dilemmas.
