Best Seats for Wild About You

The Charing Cross Theatre is small, so nobody is far from the stage. Most seats are in the Stalls, which rise gently from row C, and the centre from there back gives a clear view over the heads in front. Row K, on the centre aisle, has the most legroom.

Balcony One is level with the entrance. The Stalls are down a flight of steps.

Where to Sit

For a new musical in a small theatre, aim for the centre Stalls from about row D back, where the rise in the floor lifts you above the row in front. More in our Charing Cross Theatre guide.

What Is Wild About You?

A brand-new musical, and this is the first time it has been fully staged anywhere. Chilina Kennedy wrote the music and lyrics, Dani Stoller wrote the book, and Kristin Hanggi, who directed Rock of Ages, directs.

It was first heard in two concert performances at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in March 2024, with Eric McCormack from Will & Grace in the cast. The story has been rewritten since then, and McCormack is now one of the producers.

What's It About?

It's Billy's high school graduation party, and he has no idea what he wants to do next. Then he finds a trunk of letters written to him by his mother, who has died. He'd always been told she abandoned him when he was little.

With his best friend Scoot, Billy sets out to find out who she really was. Along the way come her old romances and some family secrets, and there's a question mark over whether Billy and Scoot are more than friends.

The songs mix folk, pop, country and soul, and the writers point to Joni Mitchell and Carole King as the inspiration.

Who's It For?

If you like new musicals with a singer-songwriter sound, in the style of Beautiful or Waitress, this is one to catch early.

It deals with grief and losing a parent, and the guidance is 12 and over.

Getting to the Charing Cross Theatre

The theatre is in The Arches on Villiers Street, WC2N 6NL, underneath Charing Cross station. Look for the large brown double doors opposite Heaven, about halfway down the street.

Embankment (Northern, Bakerloo, Circle and District lines) is at the bottom of Villiers Street and Charing Cross (Northern and Bakerloo lines, plus mainline trains) is at the top, both about five minutes' walk. Buses 9, 15, 23, 26, 87, 91, 139 and 176 stop on the Strand outside Charing Cross station, and the 12, 24, 29, 88, 159 and 453 stop at Trafalgar Square.

There's no cloakroom, so bring only what you can keep with you. The Box Office and bar open two hours before the show, and the auditorium about 20 minutes before.

Accessible Performances

No captioned, BSL, audio-described or relaxed performances have been announced for this run. If you need an accessible seat, the theatre's own Box Office looks after that rather than us. More in our Charing Cross Theatre guide.
