⭐ STARTER FOR TEN – STAGE MUSICAL ADAPTATION – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR BRISTOL OLD VIC ⭐
The world premiere of new musical Starter For Ten, based on the bestselling David Nicholls novel and popular film, has been announced for the Bristol Old Vic.
Based on the hilarious coming-of-age novel by David Nicholls (One Day, Us, Sweet Sorrow) and the popular 2006 film adaptation starring James McAvoy, Benedict Cumberbatch, James Corden and Rebecca Hall, this tale of love, class and growing up in the 1980s is set in Bristol against the backdrop of legendary British quiz show University Challenge.
The new musical will premiere as part of Nancy Medina’s inaugural season as artistic director of the Bristol Old Vic.
Starter for Ten will have a book and lyrics co-written by Emma Hall and Charlie Parham, artistic directors of Antic Productions. The 80s-inspired original score and lyrics will be composed by queer, pop-punk composers Tom Rasmussen (who recently supported Self Esteem on UK tour with their debut album, Body Building) and Hatty Carman.
The production will be directed by Charlie Parham, with set and costume design by Olivier Award nominee Frankie Bradshaw, lighting design by Jai Morjaria and casting by Will Burton for GBC.
Starter For Ten will play the Bristol Old Vic, running from 29th February – 30th March 2024, with tickets on general sale from 27th April – 10am.
