This article relates to a production which has now been postponed
Following its New York debut and run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, the high‑energy pop‑rock musical World’s Greatest Lover will open at The Other Palace this spring.
The production runs from Sunday 12 April to Sunday 7 June 2026, with a national press night on Wednesday 22 April.
Tickets are on sale from today as producers confirm the full London cast, led by X Factor winners Matt Terry and Dalton Harris, joined by Union J’s Jaymi Hensley and West End favourites Joaquin Pedro Valdes, Leonardo Vieira and Alex Hayden.
With music and book by Julien Salvia and lyrics and book by Ludovic‑Alexandre Vidal, the musical brings together the historic greats of romance in a witty, irreverent and heartfelt battle to discover what it truly means to be the greatest lover of all time.
Directed and choreographed by Broadway’s Joshua Bergasse, the production features set design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by David Woolard and lighting design by Jason Lyons.
Producers Marc Routh and Simone Genatt said, “World’s Greatest Lover is a wildly entertaining showdown among the hottest lovers of all time. The premise is wonderfully absurd and witty punctuated by sizzling choreography by Joshua Bergasse with a powerful boyband pop score. This new musical is seductive and electric and just might make you fall in love all over again. We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing World’s Greatest Lover to the Other Palace this Spring.”
The cast includes Matt Terry as CDB, Dalton Harris as Val, Jaymi Hensley as Sade, Joaquin Pedro Valdes as Romeo, Leonardo Vieira as Caz and Alex Hayden as an off‑stage Swing.
The London production promises explosive choreography, a pop‑powered score and a sharply comic look at love, identity and reputation.
