It has been announced that US musical theatre composer and singer/songwriter Drew Gasparini will play one UK date at the Norwich Theatre on 22 October. 

Gasparini is best known in the UK for his music in the TV show Smash, along with his work on Karate Kid – The Musical and his autobiographical song cycle We Aren’t Kids Anymore, which Norwich Theatre is currently developing. 

A Night with Drew Gasparini will be an intimate event celebrating his work, which includes It’s Kind of a Funny Story for Universal and his concept album I Could use A Drink. He will be joined by some of the workshop company of We Aren’t Kids Anymore in his only UK performance this year. 

Head of Programming and Producing at Norwich Theatre, Sam Bain, said: "It is so exciting to be working with Chris and Richard to bring Drew Gasparini over to the UK and to Norwich. Not only to work on the development of a new musical but to share Drew's music and his professional skills and knowledge with our community – it isn't every day that a Broadway composer drops by! Norwich is in for a real treat."
