Chaplin: The Musical is based on the real-life story of Charlie Chaplin, the iconic film actor, writer, producer and director. The musical spans the comic's entire career, from his first performance as a child in 19th-century London to his tearful acceptance of an honorary Academy Award in 1972. It dramatises the making of his legendary films, telling the touching story of the man who makes the world laugh as his legendary screen persona, the Tramp, but struggles to find happiness in his own life.

Chaplin: The Musical is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global (www.broadwaylicensing.com)
