Curve announces UK premiere of new musical INDIGO
Curve continues its run of sharing UK premiere productions in its Studio Theatre with the announcement of new musical INDIGO, which will run from 26 June-19 July this summer.
With music and lyrics by Scott Evan Davis and a book by Kait Kerrigan, INDIGO is an uplifting and heartwarming musical which celebrates the bonds that unite a family. It is a story of three generations of women navigating their need to reach one another.
Elaine is starting to forget. Beverly wishes she wouldn’t remember. Emma just wants her family back. When her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Beverly and her husband Rick open their home to care for her. While adjusting to their new circumstances, Beverly’s daughter Emma - a non-speaking autistic teenager with synaesthesia - unexpectedly crashes back into her life. Her arrival forces Beverly and Rick to confront the past and learn whether they can become the family Emma so desperately needs.
INDIGO is produced by Sing Out, Louise! Productions in association with Curve. Sensitively exploring themes of living with Alzheimer’s, autism and synaesthesia, the musical’s run at Curve will include a range of accessible performances, with a Relaxed performance on 10 July, British Sign Language Interpreted on 11 July, Captioned on 16 July, Dementia Friendly on 17 July, and Audio Described and Touch Tour on 19 July.
INDIGO is conceived by Jay Kuo, Lorenzo Thione and Scott Evan Davis, and is directed by Catie Davis, with musical supervision and orchestrations by Brad Haak.
Speaking about bringing the production to the UK, Director Catie Davis said: “I am thrilled to share this powerful, original musical with audiences in the UK. Scott and Kait’s writing beautifully captures the complexities of a modern family in a way that’s rarely explored in musical theatre, but that so many people can relate to and draw strength from. Curve’s Studio Theatre is a perfect home for INDIGO’s next steps and we can’t wait to spend the summer in Leicester.”
Tickets for INDIGO will go on-sale to Made at Curve Circle, Patrons and Friends tomorrow (11 March), Supporters from 12 March, Members, Groups and Access Register Customers from 13 March and on general sale from 18 March, all at 12pm midday.
