Get your surf boards at the ready, and head down to Southwark Playhouse Borough this summer for the world première of Brandon Lambert and Martin Landry’s Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!.
Directed by The Play That Goes Wrong’s Mark Bell who returns to the venue following the success of last year’s Windfall, this gloriously nostalgic pastiche of decades of American beach movies will open on 29 and 30 May at Southwark Playhouse Borough, with previews from 24 May, and running until 22 June.
Martin Landry said today, “Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!! was born in 2018, when I witnessed my co-writer, Brandon Lambert, performing in a jukebox musical (which shall remain unnamed). The music was so much fun and completely irresistible, but the story was staggeringly painful. After the show (and after a few drinks to ease our distress), we asked ourselves a seemingly impossible question: what if we wrote something even worse? And now, here we are! We hope you enjoy Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!”
Mark Bell (The Play That Goes Wrong) directs a trip to the beach you’ll never forget in a world premiere musical by Brandon Lambert and Martin Landry: Fun at the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!
It’s a hot, sunny day at the beach and everyone is gearing up for a competition that will change (or end) their lives forever: the legendary Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!
Everyone wants to be King or Queen of the Beach, but who will get the crown? And will they all fall in love and live happily ever after? As the competition progresses through an increasingly deadly series of beach events, the biggest question of all is: can this show find yet another excuse to crowbar in a song?! YES!
Set to energetic parodies of iconic retro hits, Grease mets Squid Game in this brand new (sort-of) romp (bomp-a-lomp) of non-stop laughs, slapstick horror and explosive fun.
Welcome to the Beach Romp-Bomp-a-Lomp!!
