You might be school kids and livin’ in dead-end Dublin – but you’re doin’ it! You’re making music!”
Dublin, 1982. Sixteen-year-old Conor just can’t seem to catch a break. His parents are constantly fighting, his brother refuses to leave the house, and he hasn't settled in yet at his new Catholic school. Enter Raphina, a young girl who is far too cool for school, mysterious, and on the lookout for a modeling job.
Trying his best to impress her, Conor hires Raphina to star in the new music video for his band. The only problem is......... he doesn’t actually have a band. Yet.
Featuring a classic score that embraces the dynamic new wave sound of the 1980s, Sing Street is a celebration of the power of music to give us all a lift, and an ode to the thrill of young love.
Tony Award winners Enda Walsh and Rebecca Taichman bring John Carney’s beloved coming-of-age film to the UK stage for the first time with music from Gary Clark in this brand new production at the Lyric Hammersmith, following sell-out seasons in New York and Boston.
