Hit musical HOLE! transfers to Soho Theatre and returns to Edinburgh Fringe this summer
Following a sold-out season at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025, and in March in New York at The Public Theater (Joe’s Pub), Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper will bring HOLE! to London for the first time to Soho Theatre from 17 July – 1 August before returning to Edinburgh Fringe from 5 August – 31 August.
HOLE! is currently at The Public Theater (Joe’s Pub) in concert format before a Stateside premiere of the full production at Playwrights Horizons next season.
HOLE! is a new two-hander musical comedy, written and performed by off-Broadway darlings, Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper. Together, they are American Sing-Song (A.S.S.). As ridiculous as it is profound, this outrageous musical blends brazen naughtiness with heart-warming sincerity. Think The Book of Mormon meets The Mighty Boosh.
With direction by RJ Tolan, HOLE! is produced by Benjamin Nelson and David Thomas Tao, alongside UK Executive Producers Indigo Productions, and has set design by Emmie Finckel, lighting by Paige Seber, sound by Eamon Goodman, costumes by Hahnji Jang, and movement by acclaimed Fringe First Award-winning clowns Xhloe & Natasha.
This musical epic follows a strict religious sect in Nebraska who, after an apocalyptic event known as ‘The Great Sucking,’ are the only humans left on earth. But when two of these young fanatics are sent on the journey of a lifetime, they discover the true meaning of love, life, and most importantly…HOLE!
Producers Benjamin Nelson and David Thomas Tao said: “Jake Brasch and Nadja Leonhard-Hooper are two of the most deranged genius playwrights working today. As American Sing-Song, they’re an unstoppable force of joy and lunacy in a world that sorely needs it. It’s an honor to help bring their vision to the stage. We strongly encourage audiences to show up curious and receptive.”
UK Executive Producers, James Lane & Ed McGovern added on behalf of Indigo Productions: “We have seldom seen such a response to a show as the one HOLE! received last year. It is completely singular and the intrigue building around this show will be of no surprise to those lucky enough to have caught it so far.”
