A York Theatre Royal Production

IN ASSOCIATION WITH EVERYMAN THEATRE CHELTENHAM AND BUXTON OPERA HOUSE

Written and Directed by Debbie Isitt

This autumn, join us for the world premiere of a brand-new British musical, based on the 2019 hit movie Military Wives and inspired by a true story.

A joyous celebration of female friendship, courage and ‘unsung’ heroes. Get ready for the inspirational story of the Military Wives choir as they change the world one song at a time.

Written and directed by BAFTA award-winner Debbie Isitt (Nativity!), this new production is a funny, feel-good story of female empowerment and the perfect harmony of laughter, emotion and fun.

With their husbands and partners away at war, the women are isolated, bored and desperate to find a focus to take their minds off feelings of impending doom. Enter Olive who arrives on the ‘patch’ to help them form a choir and learn to sing. But Olive gets a lot more than she bargains for with this diverse group of women – who through the power of song find themselves facing their fears and making unexpected friendships along the way.

Featuring a fantastic mix of pop, rock and power ballads to make you laugh, cry and sing your hearts out!

Starring phenomenal musical theatre talents, who have previously appeared in productions such as Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Mamma Mia! Heathers: The Musical, Evita, Wicked, Mary Poppins and many more.

Join us for a Post Show Discussion on Fri 12 Sep after the 7.30pm performance.
