Pop Off, Michelangelo! – a new musical at The Other Palace
The musical will play on 4 November – 5 November
POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! is the musical comedy about besties-turned-bitter rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. After realizing they’re both gay, the two childhood friends attempt to earn divine forgiveness by becoming the greatest religious artists of all time. Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo shut up about his helicopter?
With an electropop original score as infectious as the bubonic plague, and a script that has not been remotely fact-checked, this brand new Renaissance adventure is both hilarious and unhinged.
Pop Off, Michelangelo! Is written by Dylan MarcAurele and directed by Joe McNeice. In the role of Michelangelo Max Eade, Aidan MacCall will appear as Leonardo, Paul Toulson as Pope
Conn McGirr as Salai, Lucy Carter as Savanarola and Maiya Quansah-Breed as Mother.
