The Unluckiest Gentleman

The Unluckiest Gentleman is coming to Godber Studio at Hull Truck Theatre, with performances running from Tuesday 18 May to Thursday 20 May 2027. It's a musical, so the story is told through song, and it's taking over the studio for those three days in the spring.

Because it's a musical, the songs do more than just break up the action — they carry the plot and the characters' inner lives. If you're into theatre that combines a script with a score, this is exactly that kind of thing. It's not a one-night show, either; with the run stretching from Tuesday to Thursday, you've got three different evenings to choose from if one date doesn't work for you.

It's playing in the Godber Studio, which is one of the smaller spaces inside Hull Truck Theatre. That puts you closer to the stage than you'd be in the main house, so you'll be right on top of the action rather than watching from the back of a large auditorium. It's a good spot for a musical, where you can hear the lyrics and see the performers' faces without having to squint.

So, the run is Tuesday 18 May through Thursday 20 May at Godber Studio, Hull Truck Theatre. If you're around Hull that week and fancy a musical, you've got three nights to pick from.
