Following a critically acclaimed, sell out run at the Turbine Theatre, Luke Bayer (Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Millenials) gives a "career-defining and career-best performance" (All That Dazzles) in this blood-stained love letter to Broadway.

As president of the drama club and star of every school show, Desmond Channing spent most of his short life in the spotlight. When a rival student Evan Harris, a hotshot transfer from New York, challenges his throne, Desmond responds as any diva would, with lethal force...

Now stuck in the ‘Seventh Circle’, Desmond is forced to relive his disturbing tale as we join him and his band for their one-millionth consecutive show, Desmond performs with a desperate vigour in the hopes that he can prove he’s repented and can be freed from this eternal, campy torment!

Starring Luke Bayer as Desmond, and every other character to boot, this "one man Heathers meets High School Musical cabaret confessional" (West End Best Friend) will take you beyond the darkest depths and demonstrate exactly what it takes to earn the title of diva.

See you in hell!
