Hit Musical HOLE! transfers to Soho Theatre for a limited summer run

The sold-out Edinburgh hit show Hole! will arrive in London at the Soho Theatre for a limited summer season before returning to the Fringe from 5-31 August at Underbelly Cowbarn. The show, written and performed by Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper, is currently being performed at The Public Theater in concert format before a Stateside premiere of the full production, which will arrive at the Playwrights Horizons next season.

As ridiculous as it is profound, this outrageous musical blends brazen naughtiness with heart-warming sincerity. This musical epic follows a strict religious sect in Nebraska who, after an apocalyptic event known as ‘The Great Sucking,’ are the only humans left on earth. But when two of these young fanatics are sent on the journey of a lifetime, they discover the true meaning of love, life, and most importantly…HOLE!

With direction by RJ Tolan (long-time Program Director of Youngblood at the Ensemble Studio Theatre), HOLE! is produced by Benjamin Nelson and David Thomas Tao alongside UK Executive Producers Indigo Productions. Set design is by Emmie Finckel, lighting design by Paige Seber, sound design by Eamon Goodman, costume design by Hahnji Jang, and movement by acclaimed Fringe First Award-winning clowns Xhloe & Natasha.

Producers Benjamin Nelson and David Thomas Tao said, “Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper are two of the most deranged genius playwrights working today. As American Sing-Song, they’re an unstoppable force of joy and lunacy in a world that sorely needs it. It’s an honor to help bring their vision to the stage. We strongly encourage audiences to show up curious and receptive.”

HOLE! plays at Soho Theatre from 17 July to 1 August.
