NEXT THING YOU KNOW | 5-9 Mar 2019
Music by JOSHUA SALZMAN
Lyrics by RYAN CUNNINGHAM
Next Thing You Know (“NTYK”) is a musical about four New Yorkers waking up from their invincible twenties and confronting adulthood in the city that never sleeps. It looks at a time in life when one day you wake up, and instead of a hangover, you have a job. Instead of a fling, you have a live-in girlfriend. And instead of naïve dreams, you have reality. Think: a musical episode of How I Met Your Mother or Friends.
AFTER THE DANCE | 9-13 Apr 2019
by TERRENCE RATTIGAN
“It’s the bright young things over again, only they were never bright and now they’re not even young”
After the Dance by Terence Rattigan is a hilarious, heartbreaking and hauntingly beautiful play. Written as an attack on the hedonistic lifestyle of the ‘bright young things’ of the 1920s and 30s, the play's action takes place on the eve of the Second World War in the drawing-room of the Scott-Fowlers’ flat in Mayfair, a fashionable part of London.
Despite being a critical success when it premiered in 1938, the looming declaration of war meant it was quickly forgotten until a 2010 revival at the National Theatre brought it back to prominence.

A SWELL PARTY
THE MINACK THEATRE
Music and Lyrics by COLE PORTER
Written by JOHN KANE
Conceived by DAVID KERNAN
Have you heard, it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Well did you evah
What a swell party
A swell party
A swellegant, elegant party this is
We are delighted to announce that our first ever Sedos Minack show will be A Swell Party, a sophisticated cabaret-style tribute to the life of Cole Porter, one of the greatest composers and lyricists of the 20th Century. The show attempts to re-create the indomitable spirit of Cole, his life and his works.
In a Fifth Avenue Penthouse the ghost of Cole returns to celebrate his 128th Birthday. With the assistance of his family, closest friends and associates, Porter recalls the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. It focuses on his unfailing joie de vivre, his significant relationships, and touches upon his terrible pain and suffering in the latter years of his life after a riding accident.
Auditions | Sat 16 & Sun 17 March 2019

Stiles & Drewe’s SOHO CINDERS
Music by George Stiles | Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
Book by Anthony Drewe and Elliot Davies
Robbie has a few problems. His mother has just died, without making a will, and the Old Compton Street laundrette she owned, "Sit & Spin", is under threat from his vulgar stepsisters as they attempt to hike up the rent.
If that wasn't enough, he loves one man while being paid to hang out with another!
James Prince also has problems. He’s running for mayor, but his campaign manager’s a lying schemer and his heart isn’t entirely with his devoted fiancée Marilyn.
When your only inheritance is an urn of ashes on the mantelpiece or if your secret romance becomes tabloid front page news, can love really conquer all?
From the laundrette which hears more confidences than it washes G-strings, to a dramatic political fundraiser where a mobile phone is lost as midnight strikes, Soho Cinders is a witty, heartwarming musical twist on the classic fairytale.
WORKSHOP | Thursday 21 March
AUDITIONS | Friday 12 – Sunday 14 April
RECALLS | Wednesday 17 April
The audition notice will be released soon.
