Ten Years of Magic: Christmas with Barlow & Smith

Celebrate the season with songwriting duo Barlow & Smith as they return to Crazy Coqs to mark ten years of their beloved album and songbook Christmas in the City. Joined by a live band and special guests from the West End, the pair bring their original festive songs back to the stage in a cabaret of sparkle, wit, and warmth.

From tender ballads to playful showtunes, Christmas in the City captures the many moods of the holidays— heartfelt, humorous, and full of cheer. This anniversary performance offers the chance to hear old favourites alongside new discoveries, all delivered with Barlow & Smith’s trademark musical theatre flair.

Raise a glass, gather your friends, and step into the magic of Christmas in the City — festive, fresh, and ready to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
