Birmingham Hippodrome is inviting audiences to experience an early look at a new musical theatre production in the making, with workshop performances of This Is A Love Story on 1 & 2 February.

Telling the story of the romantic relationship between characters Earth (Genesis Lynea) and Humanity (Billy Cullum), This Is A Love Story features a high-energy pop soundtrack and a razor-sharp script. With music & lyrics by Jack Godfrey and a book & additional lyrics by Ellie Coote, This Is A Love Story brings fresh attention to the climate crisis.

The workshop will be directed by Jessica Edwards, with musical supervision and co-orchestrations by Jordan Paul Clarke, sound design by Paul Gatehouse, lighting by Joe Price, and casting by Ellie Collyer-Bristow.

Head of New Musical Theatre at Birmingham Hippodrome, Deirdre O’Halloran said: “We are really proud to be the UK’s first in-house New Musical Theatre department, dedicated to developing new musicals in the West Midlands.

“Workshop performances are a chance for audiences to discover new talent and play their part in developing a new musical theatre show. Looking forward, we have ambitions to expand our department’s work throughout 2024 and This Is A Love Story is a wonderful way to introduce our work to the public.”
