Following a phenomenal two years in the West End and a sensational first UK and Ireland tour, the “indisputably terrific” (The Times) Olivier Award-winning Best New Musical, charting the euphoric highs and agonising lows of The Kinks, is back! 

Sunny Afternoon celebrates the raw energy, passion, and timeless sound of one of Britain’s most iconic bands, telling their story through an incredible back catalogue of chart-toppers, including “You Really Got Me,” “Lola,” and “All Day and All of the Night.” 

This is rated out of 5 stars

“A blazing triumph! I swear you’ll get goosebumps”

Telegraph

This is rated out of 5 stars

“A belter! Funny, stylish. It has everything The Kinks had”

The Daily Mail
