As you know, Breaking the Curtain loves new musicals! Join Cris and Joce as they sit down with Spencer Williams and Shenelle Salcido, co-writers of the new musical, For Tonight! The group is also joined by Joseph Perdue, the orchestrator working with the team on the U.K concept album being released this summer!

For Tonight is a new, original, musical inspired by the writer's third great grandfather's handwritten journal. Through a riveting score, the atmospheric soundscape blends traditional Welsh choral, indie-pop, folk, and Romani inspired melodies and rhythms. At its core, For Tonight is an exploration of the power and meaning of home.

Enjoy this exclusive listen and look into For Tonight!

Teen idol, Bobby Rydell ruled late-’50s charts with hits like “Volare,” “Wild One,” “Kissin’ Time,” and “Forget Him.” He was so influential up through the early ’60s that the high school in Grease was even named after him! Bobby has gone on to sell over 25 million records including more than 30 Top 100 hits.

Discover 'what baking can do' in our latest Show History episode all about Broadway's favourite 'baked from the heart' musical, Waitress! 

Waitress is a musical with music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles and a book by Jessie Nelson. The musical is based on the 2007 film of the same name, written by Adrienne Shelly. It tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a baker and waitress in an abusive relationship with her husband, Earl. After Jenna unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she sees a pie baking contest and its grand prize as her chance.

I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical is a sparkling musical revue lifts the lid on the highs and lows of life as a musical theatre performer. From voice-straining high notes to limb-spraining high kicks, via on-stage smooches and off-stage feuds, this laugh-out-loud caper takes in the journey from wide-eyed drama school graduate to difficult diva (or past-it chorus member).

We had the opportunity to chat with comedy album chart-topper Alexander S. Bermange, and West End regulars Lucas Rush and Charlotte Anne Steen who star in this brilliant musical.

We're also fortunate to give our listeners at sneak peek at two songs from the show!

Booking a ticket will allow you to stream the show on demand from 22 April - 12 May through King's Head Theatre!
