New musical MILLENNIALS to play at The Other Palace this summer

It has been announced that new British musical Millennials by Elliot Clay will enjoy a full run at The Other Palace from 8 July-7 August.

Having started its life at MTFestUK, the pop song cycle explores the "lives, the losses, and the frustrations of young people in the modern world".

Directed by Hannah Benson, the shows features orchestrations by Auburn Jam, choreography by Tinovimbanashe Sibanda, and set design and lighting by Andrew Exeter.

Producer Paul Taylor-Mills said: “I’m so proud to be presenting the world premiere of Millennials, a brand new British musical by first time writer Elliot Clay. The show started its life at MTFestUK and it is brilliant to see that the festival is providing the necessary platform to allow musicals to move into fully produced shows. This is one of four shows to be fully produced from the festival.

Millennials sets the tone for the type of work we want to create at The Other Palace and I’m excited to start creating this brand new musical with an incredible team.”

Writer Elliot Clay said: “After four years of writing, I couldn’t be more thrilled that Millennials is having its premiere at The Other Palace Studio this summer. Some of my favourite musicals growing up were song cycles, so it’s been an exciting challenge putting my own twist on the form and exploring a generation of stories through this collection of pop songs.

“The three singles we released during lockdown had a brilliant response online and I’m so happy that everyone will now be able to come and experience them live.

“I feel very lucky to be making my professional debut as a writer and to be working with such a fantastic team bringing our show to life!”
