The Musical of Musicals — The Musical!, made its U.K. premiere at Leicester Square's Sound Theatre in March 2006. In a statement, producer Melanie Herman said, "I am thrilled beyond belief that we will be returning to London, where we were so enthusiastically received last spring, and performing in the legendary Kings Head Theatre, which has presented so many acclaimed plays and musicals."

The Music of Musicals — The Musical!, which was the longest-running show in the York Theatre Company's 35-year history (it played 256 performances there), reopened at Dodger Stages, Stage Five, where it played nine previews and 318 regular performances before closing in November 2005.
