Description

A Show About Tomorrow is a one-act musical set in the 90s at Bailey's 21st birthday party, which happens to be in the middle of nowhere. The party is going as well as any party could go, until it is rudely interrupted… by the end of the world. The musical follows the different reactions of the guests as they realise their life is ending before it has even really started. They battle with their morals, their desires and their needs as they struggle to decide what is right and wrong at the end of the world.

A truly joyous hour spent in the company of these enthusiastic young performers. Fabulous musicality in the singing and excellent ensemble acting. I loved it!

A really modern, engaging show with so much talent on stage. The setting was perfect for the venue and the show had a mix of humour and darkness. I loved the audience interaction with the voting of endings and the pull to come and watch over and over to see all four endings! The moveable toilets were well thought out and the sound and lighting complimented the show. Well done all!

A highly impressive piece with excellence not only from the cast, but also from the entire production team whose hard work has clearly payed off. The original music was upbeat and fun, and the comedic approach to the piece worked very well. Would definitely recommend!
