Bold, brilliant and unapologetically local ‘TOPLESS: The Musical’

A bold musical comedy created and produced by a diverse, women-led team of Liverpool creatives is set to take over one of the city’s most historic stages this summer.

TOPLESS: The Musical plays The Epstein Theatre on Friday 31 July 2026, inviting audiences to hop on for a darkly comic sightseeing bus tour through the city ,  led by your unforgettable tour guide Sandie, Played by HOLLY LOVELADY.

Starring Liverpool performer Holly Lovelady as Sandie, the show blends original music, sharp comedy and theatrical storytelling to offer a witty, irreverent look at modern city life. The production has previously been performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Soho’s Underbelly Theatre, and now returns to Liverpool in a new, expanded staging.

Developed entirely in Liverpool by a collective of women working across performance, music, production and design, TOPLESSES champions local talent, diversity and accessible theatre, placing home-grown voices firmly centre stage while drawing on national performance experience.

Set inside the historic Epstein Theatre, the show forms part of a growing movement of locally produced work reclaiming major cultural spaces for new, independent stories. The venue provides the perfect backdrop for a production that balances big laughs with social bite.

Topless The Musical plays at The Epstein Theatre on 31 July. Tickets are available here.
