World premiere of the official Stock Aitken Waterman musical I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY announced

The world premiere of the official Stock Aitken Waterman musical I Should Be So Lucky is set to open at Manchester Opera House on 1 November as part of a UK tour.

Written and directed by Debbie Isitt and choreographed by Jason Gilkison, the show will also play Cardiff, Plymouth, Leeds and Southampton, with further cities to be announced.

Mike Stock said: “We have been approached many times over the years to authorise a musical using the songs from the Stock Aitken Waterman catalogue and have always resisted, until now! What Debbie, Jason and the team behind the show have created is a truly original and shamelessly enjoyable rollercoaster ride through our hits.”

Debbie Isitt said today “The music of Stock Aitken Waterman has been the soundtrack to both my life and the lives of all my friends. Their songs range from wonderful ballads to real pop anthems to dance floor classics, which are all perfect for an original musical.”

The Wedding is OFF, but the Honeymoon is ON! Head from the aisle to the isles in the official Stock Aitken Waterman musical featuring the soundtrack of a generation with music from pop royalty including Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Jason Donovan and Bananarama. I Should Be So Lucky features no less than 10 Number 1 singles and over 30 songs from the Hit Factory whose music defined an era. Ella and Nathan, a young couple, hopelessly in love and about to take the biggest step of their lives – marriage. Until it doesn’t go quite to plan. Will they be together forever, or will he make her cry and say goodbye?

The production has orchestrations and musical direction by George Dyer, and set and costume design by Tom Rogers.
