⭐ THE RHYTHMICS – NEW BRITISH MUSICAL ANNOUNCED – CONCEPT ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN AUGUST ⭐
A brand new British musical has been announced – The Rhythmics.
Co-produced by Aria Entertainment and Metta Theatre, the show has been able to record a full cast album during lockdown, which is now set to be released in August.
The concept album’s cast will include Samuel Thomas, Neil McDermott, Kinny Gardner, Christopher Staines, Daniel York Loh, Kelly Price, Eleanor Kane and more.
Hapless single-dad Grey is in a rut. Teenage daughter Silva packs him off to revive his rockstar dreams. He successfully auditions for ‘Nick & the Rhythmics’ only to realise… He’s actually signed up for an all-male Rhythmic Gymnastics troupe.
Against the odds these burly blokes twirl their ‘ribbons of fire’ as far the World Championships – and along the way Grey finally learns to embrace life. Calendar Girls meets Full Monty in this joyous new musical.
Book and lyrics by Poppy Burton-Morgan (co-founder of Metta Theatre) with music and lyrics by Stiles + Drewe award-winner Ben Glasstone (Reanimator).
It will also incorporate fully integrated BSL choreography from Mark Smith (artistic director of Deaf Men Dancing).
The Rhythmics was selected for presentation at the BEAM2020 showcase, co-produced by Musical Theatre Network and Mercury Musical Developments in partnership with Royal and Derngate, Northampton.
Super excited to hear more about this show! ! !
