Scandalous!

@ The George IV on Sun, 15th Feb 2026 @ 20:00 - 22:00

Scandalous! invites audiences to step behind the mask and into a Venice ruled by desire, defiance and daring. Inspired by the myths surrounding Casanova and the real women who stood beside him, this immersive musical cirque cabaret blends jaw-dropping physicality with opulent storytelling and a distinctly modern perspective.

With its mix of sensual cabaret, circus spectacle and sharp wit, the show reframes history through a feminist lens, celebrating women who claimed autonomy, pleasure and power in a world that tried to deny them.
