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.
