Adventures of Straker

26 Crowndale

An evening of musical theatre hits sung by the legendary Peter Straker

In Adventures of Straker, legendary performer Peter Straker sings his catalogue of classic musical theatre hits. From shows he has starred in, to the ones that got away, this song list ensures an uncompromising evening of great tunes.

In this cabaret, Straker reprises musical theatre showstoppers from these shows and others; including his original interpretations of classics from Sweet Charity, Sunset Boulevard, Rent and Dear Evan Hansen. Straker’s performance is powered with style and skill. The songs are reimagined, revitalised - with the odd story to contextualise the importance of each song to Peter. All this is accompanied by virtuoso Gabriele Baldocci.

Peter Straker is a five-star winner at the Edinburgh Fringe, year on year, so catch him exclusively in London before he leaves.
