Following a successful UK tour earlier this year, the John Godber Company has announced the London première of Do I Love You?, running at Wilton’s Music Hall from 3 to 7 March 2026.
Written and directed by John Godber, this marks the company’s first London run and features the original cast: Martha Godber, Emilio Encinoso-Gil and Chloe McDonald.
John Godber said, “I am so looking forward to bringing Do I Love You? to Wilton’s Music Hall. It’s such an iconic venue, and we can’t wait to welcome Northern Soul fans to this homage. Keep the faith!”
The production follows twenty-somethings Sally, Nat and Kyle as they discover a passion for Northern Soul. What began as a college project quickly becomes a lifestyle, taking them from Hull to iconic venues like Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Set against the backdrop of rising costs, unemployment and strikes, Do I Love You? asks whether anything has really changed between 1976 and 2026.
Martha Godber reprises her role as Sally. Her theatre credits include RIGHT (The Old Vic), Alice in Wonderland (Shakespeare North Playhouse), and Ladies Unleashed (Hull Truck). On screen, she has appeared in The Full Monty, Doctors, and South Riding. She is also the founder of The Godber Theatre Foundation.
Emilio Encinoso-Gil returns as Kyle. His previous credits include Big Kids (Stephen Joseph Theatre) and The Highwayman (UK tour).
Chloe McDonald reprises her role as Nat. Her theatre credits include Lights On/Lights Off (Shakespeare North Playhouse), Twopence to Cross the Mersey, and Wicked Women (Tmesis Theatre).
The creative team includes Sally Molloy (Choreography) and Graham Kirk (Set and Production Design).
Do I Love You? is a celebration of Northern Soul for a new generation, from the writer of Bouncers. As the characters say, “It’ll never be over for us!”
