Our House the Musical
Description
"The show featured songs from the ska/pop band Madness, and was named after one of their most popular hit singles, "Our House". The script for the musical, written by Tim Firth, told a tale of modern-day love set on the streets of London. It followed two different possible courses in the life of a young man, Joe, following his involvement in petty crime. [2] Members of Madness played roles in the executive production of the show, and Madness frontman Suggs performed in the production for a while as the central character's father.
Despite winning the 2003 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical, it received mixed reviews from critics and closed after less than 10 months.[3] A recorded version of the original production was broadcast on BBC Three in December 2003 and was released on DVD on November 1, 2004. [4] In July 2006, a new production of the show toured Japan; starting in Tokyo. A UK revival is being staged from May 2008 starting at Birmingham Repetory Theatre, followed by a national tour." -Wikepedia
