Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!! at the Southwark Playhouse Borough

The new musical will premiere on 24 May 2024

Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!! by Brandon Lambert and Martin Landry will have a world premiere at Southwark Playhouse Borough. The musical is directed by Mark Bell (The Play That Goes Wrong).

It’s a hot, sunny day at the beach and everyone is gearing up for a competition that will change (or end) their lives forever: the legendary Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!

Everyone wants to be King or Queen of the Beach, but who will get the crown? And will they all fall in love and live happily ever after? As the competition progresses through an increasingly deadly series of beach events, the biggest question of all is: can this show find yet another excuse to crowbar in a song?! YES!

Set to energetic parodies of iconic retro hits, Grease meets Squid Game in this brand new (sort-of) romp (bomp-a-lomp) of non-stop laughs, slapstick horror and explosive fun. Welcome to the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!

Creator of the show Landry said: “Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!! was born in 2018, when I witnessed my co-writer, Brandon Lambert, performing in a jukebox musical (which shall remain unnamed). The music was so much fun and completely irresistible, but the story was staggeringly painful. After the show (and after a few drinks to ease our distress), we asked ourselves a seemingly impossible question: what if we wrote something even worse? And now, here we are! We hope you enjoy Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!”

The creative team behind the show are Brandon Lambert – music, lyrics, and musical director, Martin Landry – book, Mark Bell – director, Emily Bestow – set and costume design, Sarah Long – producer, Paul Virides Productions – general manager, James Anderton – production manager, Tandem Marketing – marketing and Kate Morley PR – press.

The cast is yet to be announced.
