Go back to secondary school at Babies in London — school is back in session and the sex education department decides to have students in grade 11 care for a fake baby for a week. The musical follows nine students as they balance the trials and tribulations of high school and friendships, all while trying to parent a robotic baby.
The show balances drama and emotional scenes with moments of comedy. The catchy pop-rock score with exciting choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento ties it all together, including hits such as “Someone Else” and “Hot Dad.”

More information about Babies
Babies is a musical by rising stars Jack Godfrey and Martha Geelan. In 2021, the duo was commissioned to complete the musical after one of the show's songs, “Hot Dad,” won the British Youth Music Theatre's New Music Theatre Award. Since then, the show has seen success, having its initial run at New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. It was on West End Live and in a series of concerts at the Lyric Theatre in November 2023.
"We feel very proud and excited to be part of the impressive wave of new musicals in the West End this year," said Godfrey and Geelan in a statement. "Babies is about what it is to be young right now, what it is to be questioning the future, how it feels to try and get everything right. We hope it speaks to audiences of all ages; all lived experiences. We hope there's something in there for everyone."
In addition to Bradley Riches, the cast includes Jaina Brock-Patel (SIX), Lucy Carter, Lauren Conroy (Shetland), Ashley Goh (Fury and Elysium), Max Mulrenan, Nathan Johnston (The Voice Kids), Viola Maisey, and Zoe Athena (Breeders).
