Where to Sit

The Park is a small theatre, so you're close to the stage from most seats. For a show built around a piano, a central seat is the safest way to see the keyboard.

What's The Pianist About?

Before the war, Szpilman's songs had Warsaw humming and his concerts filled the halls. The musical starts in that world of cafés and concerts, then follows him and his family into the Holocaust, and his survival in the ruined city.

It's based on Szpilman's memoir, the same book that became the 2002 film. What's new here is the music: Szpilman's own compositions, played live by a cast of actor-musicians and newly orchestrated by Simon Lee, Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-time musical director. Thom Southerland, who directed Titanic the Musical, adapts and directs.

Who's The Pianist For?

Anyone who knows the story from the book or the film, and anyone who likes a musical with a real piano at the heart of it. The subject is heavy, so it's recommended for 11 and over.

Getting to the Park Theatre

The Park is on Clifton Terrace, N4 3JP, about two minutes from Finsbury Park station (Victoria and Piccadilly lines, and trains). Use the City North Place exit, turn right, right again onto Wells Terrace, then left onto Clifton Terrace.

Buses 210, W3 and W7 stop at the Wells Terrace bus station, a minute or two away. The 4, 19, 29, 106, 153, 236, 253, 254, 259 and 310 stop on Seven Sisters Road, two or three minutes away. Finsbury Park gets very busy when Arsenal play at home, so allow extra time on match days.

Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before, no later: the Park says latecomers may not be let in. More in our Park Theatre guide.

Accessible Performances

There's an audio-described performance on Friday 6 November at 7:30pm. Access bookings are handled by the Park's own team, not by us.
