Our Olivier-Award winning musical transfers to the West End

Posted

The Company of Standing at the Sky’s Edge.

We’re thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed Sheffield Theatres’ production of Standing at the Sky’s Edge will transfer to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, in London’s West End, from February 2024.

The new British musical won ‘Best New Musical’ with Sheffield singer-songwriter, Richard Hawley and Tom Deering winning ‘Best Original Score and New Orchestrations’ at last night’s 2023 Olivier Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall.

Standing at the Sky’s Edge was originally written as a love letter to Sheffield and an ode to the iconic Park Hill Estate.

Directed by Sheffield Theatres’ Artistic Director, Robert Hastie, featuring songs by Richard Hawley and with book by Chris Bush, it charts the hopes and dreams of three generations over the course of six tumultuous decades.

Revealing the history of modern Britain, through the stories of this iconic housing estate, the show is a heartfelt exploration of the power of community and what it is we all call home.

Dates, including assisted performances, casting and booking information to be announced.
