Police Cops The Musical - Marvellous madness and mayhem
You like your comedy silly? Tick. You love a hilarious plot? Tick. This show is adored for its mayhem and madness, reviewed as “A stupidly silly and brilliant show” with “all the makings of a cult classic”. It’s back in the capital once more, on stage again at the Southwark Playhouse in Borough, for a springtime run between 1st March and 20th April 2024.
The plot? It’s 1985 and rookie cop Jimmy Johnson has joined the police to protect and serve, tasked with investigating a drug lord. But when he discovers his partner is a renegade policeman and he’s also being leaned on by the racist Chief, life as a cop doesn’t look so great after all. Poor Jimmy ends up on a harebrained adventure that takes him across the US and into Mexico, where he’s menaced by the frightening ex-cop Juanita Gonzalez.
