Sing Street – Street musicians in London
EXCLUSIVE: Barbara Broccoli, in her theatre hat, is bringing the Sing Street musical to London. The play, based on John Carney's charming 2016 coming-of-age film about a group of poor schoolchildren in 1982 Dublin who form a rock band to help them find love and forget their troubles, is set to London next summer.
The show from the team behind Once is a musical adaptation of a Carney film.
With James Bond producer Broccoli as lead producer, it won eight trophies at the 66th Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book for playwright and screenwriter Enda Walsh, who has the same writing duties on Sing Street.
