About the show
OVO reimagines Oscar Wilde’s classic with a sparkling 1920s twist: fizzing physical comedy, art-deco design and a live jazz soundtrack.
This musical adaptation whips up a stylish world of cucumber sandwiches, scandal and mistaken identity, whilst a live band threads re-scored contemporary chart hits (including Lizzo, Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lionel Richie and Queen) through Wilde’s effervescent dialogue.
Join Jack, Algy, Gwendolen and Cecily as engagements multiply, handbags are examined and a single name turns society upside-down. This Earnest is witty, romantic and gloriously playful.
