Jan Sport joins OSCAR at the Crown as ‘dystopian dance party musical’ extends in London

OSCAR at the Crown will welcome a new lead to its bespoke central London this summer!

The underground musical, which first gained a following in New York and at the Edinburgh Festival, transports audiences to a dystopian future where reality TV, glitter balls and the works of Oscar Wilde are all that remain.

This new production of the show, created by Neon Coven, has been reworked with new music and after-show parties compared to older iterations of the show. It is located on Tottenham Court Road.

As the show extends, Jan Sport will lead the cast from 12 September 2025.

Sport, who has been part of the show since its conception in 2015, said:  “When I got the call to come to London, I couldn’t have said yes fast enough… To be able to return to this amazing show that my brilliant friends have created a decade later in my favorite city in the world feels like the best way to make my UK theatre debut.”

She continued: “OSCAR is the most fun you can legally have in a theatre, and the cast I’m joining are off the charts talented.”

Sport joins the current cast, composed of Kelis Alleyne as Erika, Elizabeth Chalmers as Constance, Ella Daini as Exile, Estelle Denison-French as swing, Luke Farrugia as Sonja, Zak Marx as Bosie, Ran Marner as Exile, dance captain and swing, Elinor Morris as Ramona, Isidro Ridout as Exile, Zofia Weretka as Vicki, and Natalie Yin as Exile.

The production team includes book writer Mark Mauriello, composer and choreographer Andrew Barret Cox (known for creating hit songs for RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni), and director Shira Milikowsky.

The piece is being brought to London by ROYO, known for productions such as Here and Now – The Steps Musical, 13 Going on 30 The Musical and the new tour of Kinky Boots. The venue is a collaboration between Path Entertainment Group and ROYO, forming part of a new immersive theatre space in the capital.

Booking is now open until 30 October.
