‘Every kang deserves a crown’

Things are heating up in Memphis as the annual Hot Wing Festival rolls into town. With their sights set on the crown, Cordell, his partner Dwayne and friends Isom and Big Charles team up again as the New Wing Order, with a new attitude and a mouth-watering new wing recipe.

But after an unexpected family emergency, their plans get derailed as the men navigate the meaning of love, family and staying true to yourself.

Full of laughter, song and healing, Katori Hall’s (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, The Mountaintop) Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy makes its London debut in a fiery new production directed by Roy Alexander Weise (‘Master Harold’… and the Boys, Nine Night).

Suitability

Please note: This production contains descriptions of death and strong and offensive language.
