The stage musical adaptation of Lara Williamson’s hit novel The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair will have its world premiere as part of NYMT’s 2023 season, it has been announced.
The show has been in early development since 2020, and more recently had a week-long workshop produced by the National Youth Music Theatre in August 2022.
The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair tells the story of Becket, whose life is turned upside down when he, his brother and his Dad are running away from home in the middle of the night, leaving behind their almost-mum Pearl without saying goodbye. Whilst coming to terms with the fact that his real mum died before he had a chance to say goodbye to her too, he arms himself with an armchair of stories and one thousand paper cranes, determined to bring his family back together again.
The musical marks Jordan Li-Smith’s debut as a writer and composer. Based on the novel by Lara Williamson.
The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair will be staged from 14th – 19th August 2023, with venue and more details to be announced at a later date.
