'A gorgeous love letter to theatre kids everywhere' - Simon James Green
Larger than life Olly is back at the UK’s most prestigious competition for teen performers to prove he has what it takes to be a leading man. After being sabotaged last year, he is determined to stand out ahead of his drama school auditions.
Nervous newbie Tarun was nominated after stepping in from the chorus to a leading role. This is his week to explore if his secret hobby could be something more serious. But imposter-syndrome is real, and his dad's derisive comments threaten to derail him.
When the two boys are paired together, Olly can’t comprehend being with someone who doesn’t get his niche musical references, whilst Tarun thinks Olly is ‘way too much’. But they soon discover they’ve more in common than the opening number might reveal. Amidst the drama of rehearsals, could two boys be falling in love? A life-affirming read for all those searching for their place and their people.
We will be celebrating, in full jazz hand regalia from 7pm with drinks, a musical theatre themed quiz and maybe even a sing-along if you practise your do re mi's!
Tickets are FREE but booking a space is advised as we anticipate a popular event ✨🎤
