With a score inspired by the new wave sounds of the 80s, Sing Street is described as an ode to the thrill of young love and a celebration of the power of music to lift us up.
It’s Dublin, 1982, and 16-year-old Conor can’t catch a break. His parents are fighting, his brother won’t leave the house and he’s not fitting in at his new Catholic school.
Enter Raphina, a mysterious girl who’s too cool for school and on the lookout for a modelling job. In an effort to impress, Conor hires her to star in a music video for his band. Only problem is he doesn’t have a band. Yet.
Based on the movie by John Carney (Begin Again), Enda Walsh (Once) and Rebecca Taichman (Indecent), with music from Gary Clark (Danny Wilson), bring this coming-of-age story to the UK stage for the first time in this brand-new production, following sell-out runs in Boston and New York.
