Recently Updated

"Blitz!" is a musical that premiered in London's West End in 1962. The book, music, and lyrics were written by Lionel Bart, who was also the creator of the hit musical "Oliver!". The show is set in London during the Blitz in World War II and follows the story of a group of East End residents as they navigate the challenges of living through the war.

The musical features popular songs such as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Farwell London", and highlights the resilience of the Londoners during one of the city's most challenging times. It received mixed reviews from critics but was popular with audiences, running for over a year in London.

In 2019, a revised version of the musical titled "Blitz! 2020" was announced to open in London, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production was postponed indefinitely.
