Halls – The Musical has opened to standing ovations

Halls centres around eight, first-year, university students, from different backgrounds and upbringings, who are brought together when they’re all allocated the same flat in Halls of Residence, Flat 15B.

The show follows the characters over the course of the academic year, exploring the relationships they form, as they learn to live together whilst experiencing student life. Freshers week, exam stress, the cost of student living, and romance, are all key themes in this coming-of age-story. Laugh, and cry, as the flatmates find their feet in a world where their decisions are now entirely their own.

The upbeat, contemporary, pop-rock soundtrack mirrors the sense of nostalgia that the show evokes.

Directed by Andy Fickman (Heathers), and following four well received, sold-out workshop readings last May, Halls is now taking its next step. The show will have a development production at The Turbine Theatre from 7th – 30th July.

The Turbine Theatre is an idyllic space for new work to tried out, allowing the Halls creative team to continue to work on the material and be fine-tuning it during its run. All production elements (sound / lighting / set / costume etc ) will be there to give audiences an idea of what the show will be in a more realised scenario, as opposed to it feeling ‘finished’. Most importantly, the venue has stressed that the way in which audiences engage with the show will dictate how it develops, so do come along and be a crucial part of this exciting journey as Halls evolves.
