Here Comes J. Edgar! A Comedy Musical is a daring, deliciously irreverent new musical that turns history on its head and delivers scandal, satire, and show-stopping laughs in equal measure.

J. Edgar Hoover ruled the FBI for nearly five decades, building an empire fuelled by secrets, surveillance, and absolute control. Publicly, he was one of the most powerful men in America. Privately, he guarded a world of forbidden romance, glamorous parties, and a lifelong relationship with his loyal deputy, Clyde Tolson. This wildly entertaining musical comedy dives headfirst into that hidden world — where ambition collides with desire, and power comes at a very personal cost.

Written by legendary satirist Harry Shearer and acclaimed TV comedy writer Tom Leopold, Here Comes J. Edgar! blends biting political humour with sparkling musical numbers and sharp character comedy. The result is a fearless, fast-paced show that is as clever as it is outrageous.

With music by multi award-winning composer Peter Matz and direction by Josh Seymour, this production delivers big laughs, bold storytelling, and an unapologetically theatrical celebration of self-expression. From blackmail to ball gowns, from secrets to spotlights, the show proves that truth can be stranger — and far funnier — than fiction.

Playing for a strictly limited run at London’s King’s Head Theatre, Here Comes J. Edgar! A Comedy Musical is a must-see for fans of sharp comedy, bold new musicals, and stories that dare to go where history books never did.
