How to get A Streetcar Named Desire tickets as Paul Mescal returns to West End stage
The Gladiator II star will be heading up the West End transfer of A Streetcar Named Desire next February.
London's theatre scene is constantly abuzz with chatter about all the hottest shows. But in recent years, none have been talked about quite as much as Rebecca Frecknall's production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
This revival, starring Paul Mescal, was an instant success. Tickets quickly sold out, and the show was also excellently received by critics, earning two Oliver Awards and a Critics Circle Award. It initially ran in the Almeida Theatre before transferring to the Phoenix Theatre.
Now, the production has proven to be so supremely popular that it's heading to Broadway. Stateside theatre lovers will be able to see it at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for its US premiere from 28th February until 6th April 2025.
However, before the cast and crew leave for New York, they've got one more thing to do. Demand for the show in the UK never died down; therefore, the production will be enjoying a transfer to London's West End.
The full cast for the original production at the Alemida Theatre will be returning for the West End transfer. This means audiences will be able to enjoy seeing Dwane Walcott as Harold, Anjana Vasan (Sex Education) as Stella, Patsy Ferran as Blanche and, of course, Paul Mescal as Stanley.
Mescal first got his major acting breakthrough in the hit BBC series Normal People, and since then has starred in Aftersun and All of Us Strangers. He's now entering his hero era thanks to his starring role in Ridley Scott's Gladiator II.
Mescal's performance as Stanley quickly became the stuff of legend, earning him an Olivier Award for Best Actor.
For the chance to see the star on stage in one of the most talked-about shows on the West End, we've put together the ultimate guide to how you can get tickets.
