Pop Off, Michelangelo!

Mike & Leo's unhinged, high-camp adventure is back!

 

After a smash hit 2024 season and fresh off a 9-week London run, best-pals-turned-bitter-rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci return to Edinburgh!

A bloodthirsty friar is on the hunt for homosexuals in Renaissance Italy, just when childhood friends Mike and Leo realise they both like boys. Terrified, they devise a foolproof plan to gain God’s forgiveness: simply become the greatest religious artists of all time.

Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo ever shut up about his helicopter? Featuring an original electropop score as infectious as the bubonic plague, Pop Off, Michelangelo! is the "endlessly clever" (★★★★ Scotsman) and "fabulously entertaining" (★★★★ Broadway Baby) adventure you won't want to miss!
