Join us for another evening of REWRITES, a national initiative to develop and platform the most exciting new musicals from talent across the country. Presented as a ‘concert performance’, featuring all the key songs sung in an intimate setting, this evening showcases Chosen, a pop-rock comedy musical from Taiyo Yoshida and Dominic Varney.
Imagine accidentally killing Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, or Jesus and having to take their place. Chosen is a about Sue, an IT Support Technician in her 60s, who wakes from a coma to discover half the world has been zombified. After accidentally killing the zombies’ prophesied ‘Chosen One’, Sue must assume their identity and save humanity herself.
REWRITES was launched by The Lowry, Salford in 2017, to support and promote new musicals at the start of their journey to the stage. It’s a platform that puts shows on their feet and in front of an audience for the first time via presentations including scratch nights, works-in-progress sharings and concerts. This year Norwich Theatre joined the programme, alongside Birmingham Hippodrome and MAST Mayflower Studios to create a new twice-annual touring platform for new musicals in development.
