Acclaimed musical theatre composer and song-writer Drew Gasparini’s new contemporary musical WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE will mark its world premiere on Monday 28th April 2025.
Celebrated actress Dylan Mulvaney (2023 Attitude’s Woman of the Year and one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 to watch; FAGHAG), Olivier Award-winning Sam Tutty (Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York); Dear Evan Hansen) and revered West End performer Aimie Atkinson (SIX The Musical; Pretty Woman) will bring this heartfelt musical to life at the Savoy Theatre in the Spring. Further casting to be announced.
Originally an autobiographical tale, WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE has evolved into a poignant exploration of the complex, yet fundamentally universal, experience of navigating our path through life, and all the emotional multiplicity it brings; the highest joys, the deepest regrets, and the fleeting moments of pride – life is often a series of guesses, punctuated by key moments of feeling as we negotiate its inevitable failures and successes. The story of this uplifting musical is told from 5 distinct perspectives, crossing age, generation and gender. WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE explores the complexities of having a dream, chasing that dream, and the rocky path between the two. At its core, this musical reminds us that, no matter who you are, growing up is still a journey of guesses made in the dark.
This concert performance follows a successful workshop in June 2024 which marked the first stage presentation of Gasparini’s viral concept album WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE. Recognised for his music in Smash, as well as the scores for Broadway musicals; The Karate Kid, Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical and It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Gasparini offers a radical approach to traditional musical theatre in a show which explores self-discovery and growth. The performance is followed by a second act which sees Gasparini in concert, presenting some of his most iconic work from his extensive musical career. Gasparini and the cast will be joined by some special invited guests, yet to be announced.
