Nothing brings together those who act, dance and sing more powerfully than a musical. As someone who would spend their summer breaks and weekends learning timesteps and belting out alto lines (somewhat overconfidently), the musical theatre issue of Drama & Theatre is one that I have been looking forward to since I began my tenure as editor.
Over the past year, Standing at the Sky's Edge has taken the musical world by storm, winning Best New Musical at the Olivier Awards 2023, along with a UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production. I was lucky enough to catch its writer, Chris Bush, before she entered the rehearsal room to prepare for its West End debut. Find out what she had to say about the musical's unexpected success on page 17.
