Military Wives - The Musical
Inspired by a true story and based on the hit movie, Military Wives - The Musical is coming to York this September!
Fantastic rehearsal images are in for Military Wives - The Musical, inspired by the true story of the Military Wives choir and based on the hit 2019 film Military Wives. The production opens at York Theatre Royal on 16 September, with previews from 10 September and runs until 27 September. Check out the website for more rehearsal images!
A joyous celebration of female friendship, courage and ‘unsung’ heroes, 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!
The cast includes Kayla Carter (Faith), Emma Crossley (Bex), Jessica Daley (Jenny), Ashleigh Gray (Terri), Adrian Hansel (Luke), Sydney Isitt-Ager (Sarah), Joe Kelly (Adam), Bobbie Little (Olive/Paula), Billy Roberts (Dale/ Simon/Andy), Caroline Sheen (Susannah), Rachael Wooding (Krissy) and Stewart Wright (Dave the Welfare Officer).
Paul Crewes, CEO of York Theatre Royal, said: “We are so excited to be investing in the creation of a brand-new British musical right here in York. Audiences can expect a really special show full of songs they will know and love!”
