I Wish my life were like a musical

“With its tales of catastrophic auditions, ridiculous performance rituals, and obsessive fans, I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical offers a delightfully whimsical take on the musical theatre industry, imparting all the things you ever wanted to know but were too afraid to ask.” - Musical Theatre Review

I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical is touring the UK and Ireland in 2024 (full details here). Productions have previously enjoyed successful runs in London and Edinburgh (with two subsequent revivals in both cities), Liverpool, Seoul, Edmonton and Basel, and with a specially filmed version of the show being released for online streaming. (An album and range of merchandise from the South Korean production are available here.)
