About

Cooper The Musical is a bold and imaginative new production celebrating one of Britain's most iconic entertainers, created with the full endorsement of Tommy Cooper's daughter, Vicky, The Grand Order of Water Rats, and the Tommy Cooper Estate.

At its heart is a standout performance from Stefan Pejic, a commanding presence in theatre and entertainment, who not only stars in the production but also brings his distinctive creative voice as the writer of the original script. This is very much Stefan's show, a powerful and charismatic portrayal that captures both the brilliance and the burden of a true legend.

Told through the eyes of Cooper's long-suffering manager, Miff, the musical lifts the lid on the man behind the fez, revealing the laughter, the pressure, and the private struggles behind the magic.

The production is driven by an exceptional original score and lyrics from Dai Smith and Allyson Summerhayes. Dai Smith, a true music legend and formerly of The Storys, brings a rich musical pedigree and unmistakable craftsmanship to the work. Allyson Summerhayes complements this with a remarkable career as both a singer and songwriter, delivering powerful, emotive writing that elevates every moment on stage. Together, they create a soundtrack that is as memorable as it is moving.

Featuring a cast of outstanding Welsh talent, this is a production that is as hilarious as it is deeply moving.
