SouthWestFest presents Passport to Pimlico - a new musical

Event information

One of Ealing Studios’ best loved comedies has been adapted into the UK’s first promenade musical, to be premiered at different venues across SW1 for an audience transported on old Routemaster buses!

In 1949, as austerity Britain is gripped by a heatwave, an unexploded World War II bomb detonates, uncovering buried treasure and documents that reveal Pimlico is technically part of the ancient French duchy of Burgundy.

When Whitehall bureaucrats try to seize the treasure, the people of Pimlico declare independence; “it’s because we are English that we’ll fight for our right to be Burgundians!” Will local bank manager and reluctant revolutionary leader Mr Wix win the battle against a Whitehall blockade, and win the heart of shopkeeper Shirley following the unexpected arrival of the dashing long-lost Duke of Burgundy?

Featuring a live band and a cast of leading West End professionals performing alongside people who live, work and study in SW1, this is a unique experience not to be missed.
