To copy the show’s strapline: “Babies, we’re so ready for ya.”

A new (born) musical is coming to the West End this summer, starring a cast member from everyone’s favourite teen romance series, Heartstopper.

Babies the musical is having its fully staged premiere – it would have been too on the nose to say birth – at The Other Palace this May, following three sold-out concerts at The Lyric last autumn.

Penned by Jack Godfrey and Martha Geelan, this new show follows a group of year 11 students each tasked with looking after a robot baby for sex education.

Playfully described as being about “growing out of growing up”, fans can expect a fun and punchy comedy with plenty of heart.
