and
a delightful evening well spent'
West End Wilma
Written by the
award-winning Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, EDGES,
follows four twenty-somethings' journey to
self-discovery as they face love, loss, and
everything in-between. A huge hit on Broadway in
2007, this new production at the Tabard Theatre
marks its full run in the UK.
Hilarious, moving, and endlessly relatable, EDGES is
an unmissable and fantastic evening of theatre for
all to enjoy. This contemporary song cycle explores
the questions four young adults face as they come of
age and seek simple truths in a complex world.
Find out just how many other people also spend
Friday nights at home on Facebook or what to do when
your boyfriend likes theatre and flower arranging a
little bit too much!
With wit and charm, the musical vignettes follow
them on a journey of confronting emotions, escaping
expectation and deciphering complicated
relationships.
A huge hit on Broadway when it first played in 2007,
this expanded production features new songs written
by Pasek and Paul, not seen in the original show.
Featuring Christina Modestou (In the Heights, We
Will Rock You), Luke Street, Thomas Henson and
Rebecca Jayne-Davies (West Side Story, Jersey Boys,
Water Babies).Directed by Adam Philpott, Choreography by Lewis
Butler and Musical Direction from Edward Court,
Edges, (Pasek and
Paul's first musical) plays a limited five
week run until the 30 August.
"EDGES is an unforgettable experience, a true
classic of modern music in the vein of RENT and
SPRING AWAKENING" – New York Times
