Review: DARK OF THE MOON, Charing Cross Theatre
by Clementine Scott - May 26, 2026

The history of musical theatre was almost very different. In 1943, a ‘play with music’ called Dark of the Moon narrowly missed out on being selected for out-of-town tryouts in Connecticut, in favour of the genre-defining classic Oklahoma!. Now, after being reworked into a musical that premiered in California in 2023, Dark of the Moon arrives in London for the first time.
