Exclusive: Sing Street: A New Musical has revealed photos from inside the rehearsal room.

The stage version of John Carney’s beloved coming-of-age film follows a 16-year-old Dubliner, Conor, trying to form a band in the 1980s. It was first seen in Boston and New York before the pandemic began – though it had its Broadway season halted by the lockdowns.

It has a book by Enda Walsh, with music and lyrics by Gary Clark and Carney and direction by Rebecca Taichman (who oversaw the New York and Boston versions). The new run at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre marks the show’s long-awaited UK premiere.

Taking on the central role of Conor is Sheridan Townsley, while Adam Hunter is set to make his musical theatre debut in the role of brother Brendan. Grace Collender will play Raphina, the “model” that enchants the young Conor, while Conor’s younger sister Anne is played by Tateyana Arutura.
