Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody Announces London Transfer to Underbelly Soho

Fresh off its acclaimed off-Broadway debut and ahead of an eagerly awaited run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody – from the writer behind Fringe hit Pop Off, Michelangelo! Dylan MarcAurele – skates into London, landing at Underbelly Soho from 7th October to 1st November. Leading the cast as ice-hockey’s favourite fictional power couple are Zheng Xi Yong, most recently seen in American Psycho at the Almeida, and newcomer Joseph Dann who will make his onstage professional debut. 

Inspired by the hit TV series about the secret relationship between Major League hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, a cast of five including ‘wine mom’ narrator Susan and a nightly scene-stealing cameo from characters like “Rose Landry” and “Ilya’s Ass” recreate the show’s main moments. Sporting a bop-infused score with songs such as ‘Big Ass, Cold Heart’ set to ballet style hockey choreography, audiences will find themselves hot, bothered and transported back to the ice rink in a camp celebration of the passionate community the show has created.
