Britain's What's On Event Guide
The National Youth Music Theatre: Our House
Leading youth arts organisation The National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) has announced its
2024 summer season will debut at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, performed by the remarkable Young Company Members of NYMT 2024, who are 10 - 23 years old. The season will feature Our House, and an ambitious new folk musical Catastrophe Bay, written by Kit Buchan and James Barne. For nearly 50 years, NYMT has been at the forefront of offering exceptional opportunities in pre-professional musical theatre training for talented young people and this marks an exciting chapter in bringing these shows to the heart of London.
To conclude the season, Our House with music and lyrics by the iconic British band Madness (with one song, It Must Be Love, written by Labi Siffre), and the book by playwright Tim Firth is based in 1980s Camden Town. Featuring a collection of top hits by Madness including House of Fun, Baggy Trousers, Driving in my Car, It Must Be Love and of course Our House, this show is a modern British classic and one that the team is proud to present, particularly as we, like Madness, the NYMT are due to celebrate the 50th anniversary year since its inception.
