Step into Dystopia, where Beldon Haigh, President Blame and the indefatigable Helen Raiser lead a renegade prison-band of traitors, tyrants and delusional demagogues—including Touchy Trump, Polonium Putin and the sequinned, quiffed Kim Jong Elvis. Together, they haul us from darkness into floodlights, from austerity to imaginary abundance, and from fear-ridden obedience to something suspiciously like hope.
Fresh from a clutch of ★★★★★ reviews and widespread acclaim at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, Dystopia: The Rock Opera has become a cult favourite for its wickedly funny script, explosive performances and kaleidoscopic mix of rock, pop, punk, funk, jazz and Latin. The entire show plays out inside a breathtaking surge of graphic projections and animations—an ever-shifting visual circus, a Pandora’s box of spectacle and satire.
It may also be the only rock opera in existence with a full election in which the audience votes. Democracy has rarely been this catchy, chaotic or choreographed.
What unfolds is a disturbingly immersive tale of power, corruption, politics and people—a theatrical fever dream flashing a satirical mirror at today’s world while still clinging, somehow, to humanity.
Catch it now, before it hits London’s West End in July and inevitably Broadway. Warm up your vocal cords: it’s time to become gloriously Dystopian.
