⭐ MISFITS TOGETHER – A NEW MUSICAL – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED ⭐
Leicester’s Curve Theatre has announced the world premiere of the musical MISFITS TOGETHER.
MISFITS TOGETHER is a brand-new musical based on the relationship of 20th century icons Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, created by Dan Smith (Music and Lyrics), Ralph Pelleymounter (Music and Lyrics) and Charlotte Bogard Macleod (Book), presented with Tila Arts. Running in Curve’s Studio Theatre, the musical will be directed by Curve’s artistic director, Nikolai Foster.
Marilyn. Miller. And the myth of America. 1950’s America. In an industry built on status, politics and power, Hollywood sees Marilyn Monroe as a star they can control. Arthur Miller sees a true artist. Love brings these two titans of stage and screen together, and they back each other as they struggle for artistic integrity, and fight for political justice.
MISFITS TOGETHER celebrates Marilyn as a trailblazer establishing new rules for the way Hollywood treats their stars, re-writing her own narrative and paving the way for a sexual revolution. MISFITS TOGETHER honours Arthur as he puts his career on the line, refuses to denounce his colleagues and proves himself the moral compass of a nation. But through all these huge events, ultimately they were two people trying to navigate love, work and life’s very human problems.
MISFITS TOGETHER explodes from the glamour of Golden Age of Hollywood with a sweeping new rock musical score.
The production will be the first fully-staged musical from Bastille’s Dan Smith, the Grammy Award-nominated, Brit Award-winning singer, songwriter, composer and record producer, who has co-written the production’s music and lyrics with Ralph Pelleymounter, singer, songwriter and frontman of band To Kill a King.
The musical’s score has also been recorded as a studio album of the same name, penned by Smith and Pelleymounter, and available to pre-order now. The album’s first single “Oh America” is out now.
MISFITS TOGETHER is a Made at Curve production, presented by Curve and Tila Arts.
MISFITS TOGETHER will play at Curve Leicester, running from 4th September – 2nd October 2027. Tickets will go on general sale from 22nd September 2026.
