Co-written by legendary satirist and performer, Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Spinal Tap) and acclaimed comedy writer Tom Leopold (Cheers, Seinfeld), Here Comes J. Edgar! A Comedy Musical tells this weird and twisted story of J. Edgar Hoover. Playing a strictly limited run at the King’s Head Theatre, book your official tickets today.
As the FBI’s formidable Director from 1924 to 1972, J. Edgar Hoover built an empire on secrets - collecting explosive intel on America’s most influential figures while guarding a hidden life of his own. Behind the public power and political muscle was a private world of clandestine romance, high-society parties, and his devoted relationship with longtime deputy Clyde Tolson. This bold, irreverent musical comedy dives into the scandal, ambition, and forbidden love that shaped Hoover’s legacy, proving just how far a sharp black dress and a single strand of pearls can take a man obsessed with control.
