    In this original cast recording from 2016, watch The Grinning Man star Louis Maskell sing 'Labyrinth' from the show.
    THE GRINNING MAN
    A strange new act has arrived at the fairground. Who is Grinpayne and how did he get his hideous smile? Helped by an old man, a lone wolf and a blind girl, his story must be told.
    The epic tale of an abandoned child with a terrible secret. A disfigured youth who is desperate to hide and a sightless girl who longs to be discovered. Let the darkness seduce you.
    Following a triumphant premiere as part of our 250th Anniversary season, and it's acclaimed run at Trafalgar Studios in London's West End, we are delighted that The Grinning Man has returned, and this time we are bringing the fairground straight to your house.
    Based on The Man Who Laughs by Victor Hugo and brought to life by director Tom Morris (Touching the Void) and writer Carl Grose (Dead Dog in a Suitcase), don't miss this digital revival, captured during its original Bristol run by TVPP, and featuring a sensational original score by Tim Phillips and Marc Teitler and puppetry from Gyre & Gimble - the original puppeteers of War Horse!

    I just saw The Grinning Man twice and it was fantastic! Louis Maskell is amazing and has some amazing vocals. He is my favourite. I love Grinpayne. Louis Maskell shows a lot of charisma and stays within the character of Grinpayne and that is what I love about the show and I find that truly amazing and the musical itself shows a bit of seduction and spine-chilling scenes.
    The Grinning Man is a chilling, beautiful love story that is filled with love, hate, and seduction.
    Love this show and it has been the best musical I have ever seen this far.

    The city with its dark embrace shows its twisted damaged face,
    and reflects the labyrinth of my mind,
    here amognst these winding streets,
    invisiable I move with ease,
    no one sees the monster walking by,
    whose is the mask I'm wearing,
    whose is the past I'm carrying,
    no body can see past my hideous grin,
    I can't put a name to the monster within,
    what was it I left behind on that black and bitter night,
    It's lost within the labyrinth of my mind,
    everywhere I look I see the darkness eating into me,
    why is it that the truth's so hard to find,
    what if the face I'm hiding is a ll that there is deep inside me,
    even if I knew what had caused all this pain,
    why in hell would I want to feel it agian,
    a little bottle dulls the pain,
    until the pain comes back again,
    It's hiding in the labyrinth of my mind,
    this letter brings a pulse of life to a beating heart cut by a knife,
    maybe it's time to leave my past behind,
    this search for the past hasn't healed me,
    may even have helped to conceal me,
    this woman sheds a true one light on my disgrace,
    because she sees the beauty in my broken face...
    ps. I know it's not perfect but it's something

    It's so wonderful to see fellow theater artists discovering "The Man Who Laughs"! I've actually been working on a play adaptation of my own since about 2009 and it's an incredibly moving, haunting story to work with. And this song captures Gwynplaine's character beautifully. This would make Victor Hugo very proud. You can feel his energy and emotions in the music and lyrics, the man made to play the clown, a role he never asked for, and yet all that grief is soothed by his love for Dea, and the love she gives to him. So powerful. Bravo and blessed be. )O(
