Wild About You comes to Charing Cross Theatre from 18 January to 10 April 2027 in its first fully staged West End production. The new musical follows Billy as the discovery of letters from his late mother sends him digging into family secrets, old relationships and the truth about where he comes from.
Latest update
The Charing Cross Theatre run is now booking for 18 January–10 April 2027. The musical has music and lyrics by Chilina Kennedy, book by Eric Holmes and musical direction, orchestrations and arrangements by Daniel Edmonds.
Cast and production
The earlier London concert featured Eric McCormack, Rachel Tucker, Todrick Hall, Jamie Muscato, Oliver Tompsett and Tori Allen-Martin. Current full casting for the staged 2027 production should be checked against the production’s latest announcement before publication rather than assuming the concert cast is unchanged.
What is Wild About You about?
On the day of his high-school graduation party, Billy finds a trunk of letters written to him by his late mother, whom he had been told abandoned him as a child. With his best friend Scoot, he begins a journey into her past that gradually changes what he understands about his family and himself.
The score draws on folk, pop, country-pop and soul influences, with the production describing Joni Mitchell and Carole King as touchstones for its storytelling style.

Accessibility
Charing Cross Theatre has level, step-free access through the main entrance to the foyer, Balcony One, Box Office, accessible toilet, bar and restaurant. Balcony One has removable seating for up to four wheelchair users. The Main Stalls are 16 steps down from the entrance and the venue does not have a lift, so patrons who need step-free seating should contact the Box Office before booking. A complimentary carer ticket is available, assistance dogs are welcome, and the theatre can provide a Visual Journey on request.
The venue publishes captioned, BSL, audio-described and relaxed performances on individual show pages when available. No production-specific accessible performance date is currently listed for Wild About You, so I have not assumed one. Access patrons arriving by car or taxi can also contact the theatre the day before for a Villiers Street access code.
Tickets and booking
Charing Cross Theatre currently lists tickets from £20 for slips, with Balcony seats at £29.50, Stalls from £45 and Premium seats at £70, plus the theatre’s stated booking fee and restoration levy. The official Charing Cross Theatre route remains the booking route for this draft because no valid tracked Clarissa’s Corner affiliate URL was verified during this QA pass.
