TROMPE L'OEIL
The Musical
Our Collection
Inspired by the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, politics, and surrealism, Trompe l'Oeil questions if anything is quite what it seems.
Returning for its 2025 run after award-nominated performances Off-West End, Trompe l'Oeil offers a timely, humorous reflection on reality, illusion, and the very nature of truth in today’s world.
Trompe l'Oeil is a captivating, satirical musical that creates a vivid and surreal experience. Set against the backdrop of Donald Trump's presidency, this musical uses humor, clever wordplay, and bold choreography to explore themes of reality and identity. The title itself means "deceives the eye," capturing the essence of the show as it masterfully plays with perception both in its story, music, and staging.

London Onstage Reviews
“A pleasingly diverse ragbag of bubblegum pop, rap, classical and musical theatre. I enjoyed every minute of it…”
- Sondheim President, London Chapter, Craig Glenday for London Theatre Reviews
“Director and choreographer Blair Anderson treats the work with a necessary flamboyance, affecting an almost circus-like quality, heightened by choreography that punches well above the space.”
