PlaybillCLOSER TO HEAVEN

Book by Jonathan Harvey: Music & lyrics by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe (Pet Shop Boys)

Arts Theatre, London - 31 May, 2001 - 13 October, 2001


The Night of your life… London's club-land. Suddenly what was wrong seems right…

Dave, young, sexy and fresh from Ireland, falls for beautiful, ambitious Shell and streetwise drug dealer Mile End Lee. Billie Tricks, seventies rock icon and now hostess of a glitzy London nightclub, is there when they need to turn to "mother". Meanwhile the outrageous Bob Saunders, pop manager extraordinaire, has his own plans for Dave. As fame and fortune beckon, Dave quickly learns that things aren't always as straightforward as then seem
