In Pieces London Premiere Concert Announced at The Other Palace

Joey Contreras’ contemporary musical In Pieces will make its London premiere with a one-night-only concert performance at The Other Palace on Monday 30 March 2026 at 8pm.

Produced by Andrew Patino of Regular People, the staged concert marks the first fully realised presentation of the musical in London following multiple sold-out concerts internationally.

In Pieces is a pop-driven new musical exploring love, loss and self-discovery through the lives of six characters across three stages of life. Described as “a love story about the people you don’t end up with”, the show follows friends, family and former partners as they confront unresolved feelings and learn to live alongside the past.

The musical is written and composed by Fred Ebb Award and Jonathan Larson Grant finalist Joey Contreras. Direction is by Martha Geelan with musical direction by Brian Russell Carey. Orchestrations are by Joey Contreras and Brian Russell Carey.

Broadway performer Antonio Cipriano will lead the cast as Peter. Cipriano originated the role of Phoenix in Jagged Little Pill on Broadway and has appeared on television in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, National Treasure: Edge of History and A Week Away: The Series. Further casting is to be announced.

The musical has built a large international following online, with its album release and digital concert accumulating tens of millions of streams and licensed productions worldwide. Previous concert performances have included appearances at New York City’s Joe’s Pub.

Contreras said the London performance represents “a natural continuation of inviting audiences into the show’s growth in real time,” following strong online support and audience engagement with the music.

In Pieces runs for one night only on 30 March 2026 at 8pm. Tickets are available via The Other Palace box office.

What’s in Grace’s Satchel?

A love story about the people you don’t end up with.

Grace paused at that line for a moment.

Theatre is usually full of grand romances, sweeping reunions and curtain-call kisses, but this sounds like the opposite. Not the fairy-tale ending, but the almost-relationships. The people who mattered enormously for a short time, then quietly became memories you carry around anyway.

And a concert staging is worth explaining.

A concert musical sits somewhere between an album and a full production. The performers sing the score and play the characters, but the staging is lighter. You won’t see full sets, elaborate scene changes or flying chandeliers. Instead, the focus is the music, the lyrics and the performances themselves. Think of it as hearing the heart of the musical before the costumes and scenery grow around it.

It’s also often how new musicals find their future. Writers learn which songs land hardest, which characters audiences cling to, and which moments make the room go very, very quiet.

Grace suspects this one may be the quiet sort.

One night only performances carry a particular atmosphere. Everyone in the room knows it is fleeting. No “I’ll come next week”, no second chances, just one shared evening and then it disappears again into development.

She will therefore be attending with tissues, curiosity, and the firm understanding that the most dangerous musicals are always the gentle ones.
