There’s been a lot of royal news this year, but this one claims to the be the royal event of the year. While we think the first coronation in 70 years might just take the top spot, this will certainly be a close second. We are, of course, talking about the new West End show The Crown Jewels!

With a star-studded cast, it’s taking to the stage to bring to life the story written by BAFTA nominatee Simon Nye. The play follows the story of Colonel Blood (Al Murray), as he and his gang of misfits attempt to steal the Crown Jewels in plain sight.

Murray will be joined by one of the most star-studded line ups we’ve seen in a while, including West End veteran Carrie Hope Fletcher, Mel Giedroyc, Neil Morrissey, Joe Thomas, Aidan McArdle and Tanvi Virmani.

The show follows what is — remarkably — a true story, where a colonel tried to steal the Crown Jewels from King Charles II. This comedic interpretation sees this motley crew attempt the theft, but will they succeed? There’s only one way to find out.
