Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math

AND DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU

After three sold-out runs across London, the critically-acclaimed cult hit returns. Featuring classics like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, I Hold Your Hand In Mine, and The Elements, our most requested revival is back for a strictly limited—and likely final—run.

In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer walked away from the spotlight. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer, leaving behind a cult following and a body of work that still feels bitingly relevant. 

This show delves into Lehrer’s mysterious disappearance, weaving together his greatest songs to explore the legacy of one of musical comedy’s most elusive and enduring figures.

"Wilmot’s writing is stunning"
"Effortless charm"
"Tender and humorous"
"A glorious celebration of one of the brightest, wittiest, and most principled satirists"
"Highly entertaining
and utterly fascinating"
