Stage Door Theatre announces UK premiere of Broadway musical THE STORY OF MY LIFE

Stage Door Theatre has announced the UK premiere of the intimate two-person Broadway musical The Story of My Life, which runs from 4 September - 19 October.

With music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and a book by Brian Hill, The Story of My Life follows two childhood friends from age six to 35.

Best-selling author Thomas Weaver has come back to his hometown to deliver the eulogy for his childhood friend, Alvin Kelby, but finds himself desperately scrambling for something to say. His reality is shattered by the memory of Alvin who takes him deep into Thomas’s mind cluttered with a lifetime of stories.

Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the complexity of emotions under which it lies buried.

Composer-lyricist Neil Bartram and librettist Brian Hill have created an authentic and affecting work, told through a series of songs – in turn playful, touching and dramatic. The Story of My Life inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest chapters of our own life stories.

The production is directed by Robert McWhir, with musical direction by Aaron Clingham.

Casting is to be announced.
