Kiss me, Figaro! is a romantic comedy about the backstage passions of a touring opera company that draws on classic favourites from opera and music theatre. This is musical theatre like you’ve never seen before with music by Handel, Monteverdi, Mozart, Puccini, Brahms and Irving Berlin. Performed by a cast of 9 performers this will appeal to opera connoisseurs and newcomers alike and to all ages. Written by John Ramster with music arranged by Stephen Hose.

I absolutely loved this show. I saw it in Riverside - so jumped at the chance to see it again. I prefer the cast at Riverside- but this cast was still good. Kristin Finnigan was the stand out performer for me. A rich contralto voice- such a rarity! Jenny Stafford acted beautifully and has a lovely voice. Tom Elwin sings well- his acting was a little lack lustre at times but still good. What a show. I hope it returns to London soon.
