WINNER! ‘BEST NEW MUSICAL’ 2023 OLIVIER AWARDS

about the show

The multi-award winning new musical STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE – winner of the 2023 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production and the South Bank Sky Arts Award – made its West End premiere at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on 9 February 2024 and concluded its critically acclaimed run on 3 August 2024.

Hailed as ‘the best British musical in decades’ (Daily Express), STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE is a kaleidoscopic portrait of life on an ever-changing estate, charting the highs and lows and loves and losses of three generations over six tumultuous decades.

Set to the irresistible songs of legendary singer-songwriter Richard Hawley, with a beautiful, hilarious and gut-wrenching book by Chris Bush, this ‘deeply moving and monumental musical’ (Daily Telegraph) reveals the history of modern Britain through the stories of the landmark Park Hill estate, in a heartfelt exploration of the power of community and what it is we all call home.
