⭐ 42 BALLOONS – A NEW MUSICAL BY JACK GODFREY – FULL PRODUCTION ANNOUNCED FOR THE LOWRY – SPRING 2024 – STARRING CHARLIE MCCULLAGH & EVELYN HOSKINS ⭐
The acclaimed new musical 42 BALLOONS will come to The Lowry, in its first full production, it has been announced.
From the award-winning producers of SIX, the new musical by Jack Godfrey will debut its first, fully staged production at The Lowry, Salford, in Spring 2024.
2nd of July 1982. Using a lawn chair and approximately 42 helium-filled weather balloons, truck driver Larry Walters defied all the odds (and FAA airspace regulations!) to make his lifelong dream a reality and fly sixteen thousand feet above Los Angeles. No, seriously. In a chair.
42 BALLOONS is an uplifting musical inspired by the highly improbable true story of how Larry, and his partner Carol Van Deusen, convinced their friends and family to help Larry achieve his dream of flying.
Featuring an irresistible, 80s pop-inspired score, 42 BALLOONS questions how far you would go to make your dreams come true. Is the sky actually the limit, and what happens if it doesn’t all go to plan?
42 BALLOONS will star Charlie McCullagh (Bonnie & Clyde) as Larry and Evelyn Hoskins (Waitress) as Carol, reprising their roles after originally appearing in the West End concert production.
42 BALLOONS has a book, music & lyrics by Jack Godfrey. Directed by Ellie Coote, with orchestrations & arrangements by Joe Beighton, choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento, casting by Pearson Casting CDG and music direction by Flynn Sturgeon.
Produced by Andy and Wendy Barnes from Global Musicals and Kevin McCollum from Alchemation.
Further cast & creative team to be announced at a later date.
42 BALLOONS will play The Lowry, in Salford, running from 18th April – 19 May 2024.
