Charing Cross Theatre, London, - 7th March 2014
Synopsis
The musical is set in a West End theatre, and follows a working shift in the lives of the stagiest people in theatre - the Front Of House staff, portraying the hilarious, ridiculous and frequently moving stories of ice-cream and programme sellers who dare to dream...
A preview performance of a new jukebox musical is due to take place, a three-year workplace romance is on the rocks, an untrained newbie is working her first shift and the amorous manager is under pressure to cut costs. What could possibly go wrong?
This new British musical was a finalist in the WestEndProducer’s Twitter ‘Search For A Composer’ Competition, played a try-out run at the Hope Theatre
