Stop the press and get your jazz hands ready! The theatres might still be closed but, The Lost Alhambra cocktail bar in Leicester Square is delivering twice the drama to the cities experience seekers, celebrating couples, friends and theatre fans with a series of intimate, immersive, starring food, drink and show tunes from some of the stars from London theatre’s best-loved musicals.

Later weekends in the run will include songs and stars from Hairspray; Mamma Mia; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a Halloween Villains’ Night special, offering scarily good performances over the last weekend in October.
Every week the event will be hosted by one of Londons Hottest Drag Acts, Poppy Cock.
Each action-packed evening will be hosted by London’s sassiest drag queens making them a night to remember (or forget!) and for every ticket sold, £1.50 will go to the Acting For Others group of charities which help theatre workers with financial and emotional support throughout the pandemic.
In addition to three hours of performance in an intimate setting, the evening will include a two-course meal with vegan options, bubbles and cocktails, all in a safe environment, putting the social into social distancing.
Laura Tyrer who starred as Velma Kelly in Chicago- The Musical said: “Like most people in our wonderful industry, I’ve been desperate to get back on a stage and entertain. Hopefully theatres can reopen sometime soon but in the meantime, this initiative is the next best thing. It's a blessing and a necessity in equal measure for us all"
