Cable Street musical to transfer to New York

Hit musical Cable Street will head to New York after its third run in London.

The piece, written by composer and lyricist Tim Gilvin and playwright Alex Kanefsky, tells the story of the people of London’s East End in 1936, focusing on three young workers: Sammy, a Polish Jew; Mairead, an Irish Catholic; and Ron, a Lancastrian Brit.

The pivotal moment in their lives occurs on Sunday 4 October 1936, during the Battle of Cable Street, with the musical raising the question of which side the young protagonists and their families will be fighting for.

It had its first run in 2024, where it received a glowing five-star review, being described as “an absolute belter”.

It will now open the 2026 season of Brits Off Broadway, playing at 59E59 Theatres from 26 April to 24 May.

The London production has direction by Adam Lenson, choreography by Jevan Howard-Jones, musical supervision by Tamara Saringer, orchestrations and arrangements by Tim Gilvin, vocal arrangements by Gilvin and Saringer, set design by Yoav Segal, lighting design by Sam Waddington and Ben Jacobs, sound by Charlie Smith, and costume design by Lu Herbert. Casting is by Olivia Laydon for Jill Green Casting.

Cable Street is produced by Dylan Schlosberg’s 10 to 4 Productions with associate producer Neil Marcus.

In London, it will play at Marylebone Theatre to 28 February 2026, with tickets on sale below.
