⭐ JEEZUS! LONDON PREMIERE ANNOUNCED ⭐
The London premiere of the critically-acclaimed new musical JEEZUS! has been announced.
The wait for the second coming is over! JEEZUS! is back. Following a smash hit sold out run at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this irreverent and high-octane comedy musical that collides Catholic guilt with Latin heat, announces the premiere of a new fully-realised, scaled up production.
Winner of the prestigious UNTAPPED Award (2025) and co-produced by migrant-led company Alpaqa and New Diorama Theatre, JEEZUS! returns to London for a triumphant three-week run of this surreal musical fantasia
Set in 1990’s Peru, a brutal military coup ushers in a decade of dictatorship under the rule of Alberto Fujimori. In the home of General José and his devoted wife María, altar boy Jesús prepares diligently for his first communion. But as the biggest day of his adolescent life approaches, the hot man on the cross makes him feel something… unholy.
The production which tackles themes of colonialism, sexuality and sin is written and performed by Sergio Antonio Maggiolo as Jesús alongside collaborator and partner Guido Garcia Lueches who between them perform a multitude of characters on this unrepentantly queer journey to ultimate enlightenment.
Directed by Laura Killeen, featuring an original blend of music from anthemic Latin pop bangers, Salsa, South American folk tunes (Cumbia) to Bad Bunny-like beats played live on stage by Tom Cagnoni accompanying on live instruments
JEEZUS! is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Original development supported by The Rosemary Branch Theatre, Southwark Council & Brixton House.
JEEZUS! will play New Diorama Theatre, running from 21st April – 9th May 2026, with tickets on sale now.
Fabulous! ! !
