Public - The Musical

Sat 30 May - Sat 13 Jun 2026

Synopsis

Four strangers. A gender-neutral public toilet. No way out. The scene is set for an unmissable new musical packed with emotion, comedy and joy.

Meet people-pleaser Laura (Cole Dennis) on the way to their wedding, Andrew (Matt Corner), a Lycra-clad city banker on his cycle ride home, Zo (Grace Towning) an ultra-woke activist, armed with causes and critiques and Finley (Ivano Turco), an anxious, sweat-soaked stress case.

Trapped together, tensions high – nothing stays private for long as personalities clash and the group’s differing views are laid bare.

PUBLIC – The Musical is a bold, laugh-out-loud new musical that explores human connection with sharp comedy, authentic characters, and an electrifying pop-rock score.

Age guidance: 14+

Running time: Approximately 90 minutes (no interval)
Show warnings: Contains substance use and strong adult language
