In this conversation, Terry Ronald discusses the journey of adapting his debut novel 'Becoming Nancy' into a musical, reflecting on the overwhelming experience of seeing his story come to life on stage. He shares insights on how the musical captures the essence of the 70s while remaining relevant to today's audience, the collaborative process of writing new songs, and the themes of identity and acceptance that resonate throughout the show. Terry also reflects on his personal experiences that influenced the narrative and expresses hopes for the future of the production.

About Becoming Nancy:

A new musical about first love and finding your voice!

Adapted from Terry Ronald’s best-selling novel – be one of the very first to catch the UK premiere of new musical Becoming Nancy!

It’s 1979 and David Starr is unquestionably one of the smartest, most talented sixth-formers in East Dulwich – he’s got a wild imagination, a vocal range to die for, and a bedroom plastered with posters of his beloved pop idols: Blondie, Sting, and Kate Bush. But being clever, with a great taste in music may not be enough to get him through secondary school, where, to his great surprise, he’s just been given the female lead in the school play, Oliver… The unconventional casting sends shockwaves through David’s small town, first with David, and then with his parents, his aunt, and his classmates.

Before long, it seems like everybody has an opinion on whether David should go on with the show, inspiring him to turn to his no-nonsense best friend Frances and his unlikely co-star Maxie, the enigmatic captain of the football team.

Becoming Nancy is playing at The Birmingham Rep until 2nd November 2024, tickets are available here:
