Pride, the musical of the 2014 film, opens at the Bridge Theatre on 12 November

The film became a musical. Pride opens at the Bridge Theatre, by Tower Bridge, on 12 November 2026 and runs until 8 May 2027, a production that comes from the National Theatre.

The story

London, 1984. Mark Ashton, 24, and his friends found Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners and take the money they raise to a mining village in South Wales, where nobody quite knows what to make of them. It is the story the 2014 film told, and the same team tells it again.

Who made it

Stephen Beresford, who wrote the film, writes the book and lyrics. Matthew Warchus, who directed it, directs. The score sets 80s pop, rock and disco against Welsh choral singing. Choreography is by Lizzi Gee, design by Bunny Christie, lighting by Hugh Vanstone and sound by Bobby Aitken.

The cast

The company includes Samuel Barnett, Ryan Kopel, Caroline Sheen and Kirsty Malpass.

Before booking

The show runs 2 hours 40 minutes with an interval and is recommended for ages 12 and over. It uses strobe lighting and haze.
