A brand new Musical is out! I was honoured to be invited on press night on the 17th of September.
Military Wives The Musical has been produced in-house at York Theatre Royal. Written by Debbie Isitt it is based on the true story of a choir started by the Wives, Girlfriends and Families of those serving in the Afghanistan war. The show takes you on a journey with the ladies, and how being at home can be hard whilst awaiting news. to keep themselves occupied they start a choir and it just grows! it made me laugh out loud in many places and also cry and need a few tissues. It was so uplifting and all about their sisterhood as well as their relationships. I spoke to Paul Crewes the CEO before it started and he promised all the above. it certainly delivered and the immediate standing ovation from the whole audience on the last note just proved how it had touched everyone in the theatre. I would give it more than 5 stars! The film, based on the same story just didn't go in depth of what life is like for these ladies. The Musical had every emotion and the 2 minute silence was a perfect piece of theatre. Go see this show - you will not be disappointed.
