Written by Martin Sherman

Directed by Alan Cumming

I’ll Be Seeing You is the dazzling new world premiere from legendary playwright and screenwriter Martin Sherman (Bent, Mrs Henderson Presents, A Madhouse in Goa), starring Simon Russell Beale (The Lehman Trilogy, Uncle Vanya, Candide) and Fra Fee (Les Misérables, The Ferryman, Cabaret)

This bold and imaginative fantasia follows a young writer struggling to create a play about the flamboyant superstar Liberace—a man he believes lived in denial, hiding his true self behind sequins and spectacle. But when Liberace himself appears to him, the story takes a surreal turn. Through music, memory, and irresistible charm, Liberace challenges not only the writer but also the audience to question their own assumptions, prejudices, and truths. Funny, seductive, and deeply moving, I’ll Be Seeing You is a theatrical event that blurs reality and fantasy while celebrating one of entertainment’s most unforgettable icons.
