Here’s some big news !!
Over the last 4 years (yes years) I’ve had the pleasure of writing all of the songs for a new musical theatre adaptation of “the unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry"
Some of you may have heard of it / read the book / seen the movie ?!
its a beautiful and best selling novel written by Rachel Joyce which was made in to a movie a couple of years ago …
And now I’m delighted to say that the musical starring mark addy and jenna russell will be opening at Chichester Festival Theatre in may of this year for a limited run 🤯
I never thought I would write a musical and when I was asked to do it my instinct was to turn it down as it felt like something so out of my comfort zone .
I then read the book and immediately fell in love with it .
I love the story and I resonate so deeply with the characters and the journeys they go on . I instantly knew that it was something that I had to be a part of .
It’s been a real labour of love - not just for me , but all of the amazing people involved in the production .
There is so much more that I could say but please head over to my YouTube channel where I'll be posting a few of the songs over the next few weeks .
General booking is now open - please head here for more ticketing info . It’s not the largest theatre in the world and there will be limited numbers available so please do grab yours soon if you’d like to come along . Obviously this might not be geographically possible for a lot of you but if you happen to live near by then we’d love to see you there !!
I am undoubtedly going to bang on about this a lot more on my socials over the next few months but I think these are the headlines …
It feels so good to finally be telling you all about this - I can’t wait to see what you guys make of it !!
All my love .
Mike
