The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals

16 July 2025–19 July 2025

Main Stage

Synopsis

This horror comedy musical, loosely inspired by the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, was first performed in 2018.

Paul is an ordinary guy living an ordinary life in the small island town of Hatchetfield (USA) – until everything changes overnight. A mysterious alien invasion sweeps through the town, transforming its residents into singing, dancing, musical-obsessed zombies.

Can Paul discover the sinister forces behind the outbreak? Can he ever escape a world where life is an never-ending musical?

With a passing nod to Little Shop of Horrors, this wacky youth musical will leave you enthralled, entertained – and a little bit terrified!

With some strong language and adult content, suitable for 12+ with parental guidance.
