Foreign visitors come to London from all over the world - and a good many of them make it to a West End show.

Lavish musicals like Phantom, Cats, Mamma and Les Mis have real international appeal and in the months and years to come, Frozen, Cinderella and Cabaret are sure to follow suit.

And then there is The Windsors Endgames, a lewd, expletive smattered and highly satirical take down of the Royal Family - the archetypal British institution.

So what on earth will our friends from overseas make of this stage spin-off of the recent Channel 4 Comedy spoof series on the lives of our Royals?

My guess is nothing!

Because the West End run of The Windsors Endgame is likely to attract only those devotees of the irrelevant TV show.

But that still leaves many, many thousands who, like me, will relish the chance to cap the binging of The Windsors box sets with a real life finale to the farcical escapades of this Royal Family.

It is two hours of unadulterated and strictly adult lampooning of Charles and Camilla; Will and Kate; Harry and a Megan et al (sans Liz and Phil and, surprisingly, Ann)

For its arrival on stage, The Windsors Endgame comes with a string of review style musical numbers and a deliberate 'am dram' feel to proceedings.

As such, it delivers all one could hope for and, all one could wish for.

The deliberate crassness of it all serves only to make this evening all the more enjoyable.

The cast are free to just get on with it in carefree abandon. No one is here for Shakespearean gravitas. We just want a good time.

The occasional corpsing and fumbling of lines is all part of the fun. So to the ongoing interaction with the audience.

If you have seen, and not been appalled by, The Windsors on TV you will want to sign off with The Windsors Endgame.

If the series has passed you by this check it out first. If you approve you will certainly enjoy

enjoy Camilla taking down Diana in song; Andrew compared with Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris; Harry shagging Kate; Charles becoming King and 'gawd help us'!

Will The Windsors Endgame live long in the memory? Probably not.

Will it provide a scurrilously enjoyable romp. You betcha!

The Windsors Endgame plays at the Prince of Wales Theatre until 9 October 2021

From the blurb

Join Harry Enfield, Kara Tointon, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Jenny Rainsford, Eliza Butterworth and many of the stars of The Windsors, Channel 4's irreverent royal spoof, live on stage.

This is the story of intergenerational conflict, with Wills challenging his father for the crown and Camilla determined to see him off and rule the land with an iron fist.

Wills needs Harry and Meghan's help if he's ever going to triumph – but will they come back from California and their authentic life with their rescue chickens?

And how will Beatrice and Eugenie ever clear their father, Prince Andrew's name?

Written by the creators of the TV series, George Jeffrie and Bert Tyler-Moore, directed by Michael Fentiman (Amelie) and featuring songs, sword fights and snogging competitions, this show has everything you need to beat the lockdown blues!
