5 Reasons to Catch the World Premiere of SNAP! A New Musical at the King’s Head Theatre


This May, SNAP! A New Musical makes its much-anticipated debut at the King’s Head Theatre in Islington – and there’s every reason to be excited. This fresh new musical promises an electrifying journey through ambition, betrayal, and the power of a single image. Here are five reasons not to miss it:

1. A Gritty, Glamorous Storyline Set in the World of Photography
Set in the high-stakes, cut-throat world of fashion photography, SNAP! weaves a tale of love, ambition, and deception. When photographer Max drags his assistant and a rising model into a manipulative campaign, the consequences ripple through relationships and reputations. It’s sharp, stylish – and totally absorbing.

2. A Talented, Dynamic Cast
Leading the production is tick, tick… BOOM! star Matteo Giambiasi as Max, alongside powerhouse vocalist Hayley Maybury (Divas London), scene-stealing Justine Marie Mead (The Siren Sisters), and newcomer Will Usherwood-Bliss in his professional debut. Expect bold performances and a fresh chemistry that lights up the stage.

3. Exciting New Work by David O’Brien
With book, music and lyrics all by David O’Brien, SNAP! showcases an original score that’s both emotionally charged and full of energy. O’Brien’s razor-sharp writing and storytelling bring a contemporary edge to classic themes of power and control.

4. A Bold Creative Vision
Helmed by director Jack Storm and with sound design by Richard Carter, SNAP! is in safe hands creatively. The team’s vision promises a visually striking and emotionally rich experience – all packed into a tight 90-minute performance, including an interval.

5. A Brilliant Venue and Affordable Tickets
Hosted at the King’s Head Theatre, one of London’s most exciting Off-West End venues, this is musical theatre at its most intimate and daring. With ticket prices starting from just £10, it’s the perfect excuse for a midweek culture trip or weekend night out.
