About This Event

AMANDA – THE NIGHT BEFORE ME UK Premiere · Based on a true story The Bridge House Theatre, London 22 September – 10 October 2026 | 7:30pm Approx. 100 min, including interval The night that changes everything. The night before Amanda takes the last step toward becoming herself. In those few hours she relives a whole life: hidden dreams, familiar lies, forbidden love, and a freedom she has had to fight for. With razor-sharp humour and breathtaking feeling, this one-person musical tells the story of someone born in the wrong body, searching for who they really are — and finally unfolding their wings. Divina de Campo (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) plays Amanda and the fourteen voices that shaped her: mothers, lovers, friends, and the ones she still carries inside. Originally written and composed by Rory Six as Ein wenig Farbe, the piece became a word-of-mouth hit across Germany and Austria. This English version arrives with lyrics by Charles Hart (The Phantom of the Opera, Aspects of Love) — West End craft in a 50-seat room, close enough to feel every note. Limited run. Some performances already sold out. What the European press said “A touching, profoundly honest piece of theatre.” — Der Opernfreund, Germany “A piece that gets under your skin…” — Musicalzentrale, Germany “Great dynamic writing with clever verbal wit.” — Die Deutsche Bühne, Germany “Simply magnificent and, above all, deeply touching!” — Kulturfeder, Austria Tickets: ticketsource.com/the-bridge-house-theatre/amanda-the-night-before-me/e-grldrx
