Eugenius! synopsis

KAPOW! This electrifying British musical pays homage to the spirit of the 1980s with a thundering score stronger than kryptonite! In Eugenius!, the roles are flipped, wishes come true, nerds rule rather than suffer at the hands of their enemies, and everyone has a superhero inside them just waiting to take flight.

Eugenius! follows the journey of teenage superhero enthusiast Eugene, who spends his days writing about his own superhero universe. When a talent scout visits school and offers Eugene the opportunity of a lifetime in Hollywood, victory feels near. Nevertheless, like any superhero movie…evil creeps around every corner.

Through evoking nostalgia for 80s superhero comics and movies and rooting for the underdog, the heartwarming Eugenius! proves that with a journey like Eugene’s, we can collectively demonstrate that we are all mighty heroes! When it arrives at The Turbine Theatre, the pulsating music, which has been streamed by millions of people in 125 countries, is destined to conquer the stage.

About Eugenius! 

The London Palladium hosted a one-night-only Eugenius! production in 2016 with a cast that included Amy Lennox, Warwick Davis, David Bedella, and Summer Strallen. Marcus Brigstocke narrated the story.

After that, Eugenius! was fully staged and performed for a season at The Other Palace in 2018, to standing ovations and critical acclaim. The score, which The Guardian and Theatre Weekly called as "infectiously poppy pastiche" and "astonishingly catchy," was also praised by critics for its warmth and joyous ambiance. Later, the production was nominated for two WhatsOnStage awards.

The creatives of Eugenius! 

Eugenius! is written by Ben Adams and Chris Wilkins and is directed by Hannah Chissick, it will run at the Turbine Theatre from 17 March - 28 May 2023.

Tickets for Eugenius! are available now!

Step back in time to the 80s and watch Eugene find the hero within himself in this loveable musical! Book tickets for Eugenius! today!

MS INES ARTHUR

Amazing show that unfortunately is closing today. But so happy i had a chance to see it few times.

SLJ

This is a brilliant show full of references to the 1980s with catchy songs. The actor playing Evil Lord Hector stole the show for us; he was so funny. The stage was very small and you could hear trains going over/past the theatre throughout the show which was a bit distracting - I felt a bit sorry for the actors. Amazing singing and a ridiculously bonkers plot - I couldn’t stop smiling. Really enjoyed it and very glad we made the effort to travel up to London before it closes.

JLO

Fantastic show with the best, most professional cast - genius! Thoroughly enjoyable! Front of house staff exceptionally helpful, friendly & accommodating too. All in, an amazing evening. I am so grateful to have had the chance to see such a great work in this lovely, intimate theatre. A triumph for culture & the arts. Many thanks to everyone.

russell

One of the best musicals of seen. Super catchy, songs and great singers.

Kate Holmes

Fantastic show, brilliantly produced with really talented cast. I loved the vibe of the theatre, but it was just a shame that the passing trains were so loud and distracting. Also, I think a lady in front of me in the audience was dripped on a few times from the ceiling. Overall thought would totally recommend!

rachelle Quince

The cast were fantastic. There were some awesome moments that felt improvised and special for the evening. The production felt really well done, and it was a real surprise gem. We were ready for it to be so bad it's good, and it was in fact, so good, it was amazing! Loved the venue which was intimate and tiny, but with the seats on a slant, everyone could see! The train was annoying at times, unfortunately.

Matthew Hardiman

Loved the show. Wanna get back and see it again

Anna Craggs

Glenn Hewitt

Fantastic!

Richard

Fantastic musical set in the 80s. Fun story, great acting and visuals with excellent original songs and singing. Not to be missed. You'll love it.

Kathryn Newell

This was one of the best musicals we had ever been to! The theatre being so small made it more personal and allowed us to see the amazing talents of all the performers! The storyline, music and talent was beyond words! Being kids of the 80s we loved all the funny references to that time. The performers were so vibrant and full of energy! 10 out of 10.x

A British Musical that Shoots for the Stars and Lands on the Moon!

The 80s were an era of big hair, neon colours, amazing music and Comic Books. Eugenius! the Musical brings all of those things crashing together. This inspired Superhero comedy musical has very quickly become a cult smash hit; its clever use of modern references together with 80s references makes for a fantastically hilarious show.

Eugenius! musical ready to relaunch for a highly anticipated London comebackEugenius!

Features

Eugenius!

Eugenius is the geek heart ballad you’ve been waiting for since Loserville. It’s difficult being the new musical on the block but it has nothing to worry about, as it’s the ultimate feel-good musical, that will have your heart soaring in more ways than one. The songs may be new, but they’ll have you singing along in no time and it won’t stop there, as you will have these numbers in your head for longer than anticipated. “Don’t Shoot For The Stars, Shoot Higher” is definitely a piece of advice this musical has taken on.
