Wales Millennium Centre to produce new musical ANTHEM by Llinos Mai

Wales Millennium Centre have announced that their first production of 2022 will be Anthem, an original comedy musical that follows the nation's largest television singing competition, running from 30 March-10 April.

A top creative team has assembled to create this brand new production – Llinos Mai is the author, who has co-composed the songs and music with Dan Lawrence; Alice Eklund is directing and Roger Williams as a dramatist.

Join us in the studio for the live final of Anthem, the nation’s biggest TV singing competition. There will be wind machines. There will be key changes. There will be plenty of arguments on Twitter.

Watch the drama and hilarity unfold – both on and off air – as the finalists from every corner of Wales get ready to compete to bring the title home. Are they longing for fame? Acceptance? Or just another trophy for Mam’s dresser?

Performed in Welsh at the Centre's Weston Studio, Anthem will be a love letter to the land of song, but with a tongue tight in its cheek. The cast will be confirmed at a later date. Anthem will be suitable for Welsh learners and fluent Welsh speakers alike, and there will be two performances with additional English-language captions.

Anthem author Llinos Mai said: "Anthem is a show full of comedy, songs and a love of Welsh culture and music. Quite simply, I've created the kind of show we'd love to see in the theatre!  I am delighted to work with Wales Millennium Centre to create Anthem, which is such an ambitious Welsh show. It's going to be a fun evening and we all deserve that at the moment."
