Homegrown talent will be on display in December with the launch of a series of showcases featuring excerpts from new British musical theatre shows currently in development.
Curated and hosted by leading London musical theatre director Adam Lenson, the first SIGNAL event at The Hospital Club in London’s Covent Garden will offer fans their first glimpse of songs from shows that are currently being written.
Announcing the event in the venue’s Oak Room on 5 December, Lenson said: “I have long been looking for a chance to showcase new British musical theatre in a setting that is separate and insulated from any theatre or existing development pathway and I’m grateful to The Hospital Club for giving us this opportunity.
“I hope SIGNAL can give writers a safe space to present work regardless of tone, style or form and truly experiment and engage with audiences. Do join us in what will be a very relaxed and informal setting in the heart of London’s West End to check out the future of new British musical theatre.”
Featuring a range of musical styles, the line-up of writers confirmed to perform includes:
Kate Marlais and Alex Young (S&S Award winners, Here)
