The National Youth Theatre presents...
Handel and Hendrix
We’re honoured to introduce Handel and Hendrix, an original production by the National Youth Theatre that brings our historic neighbours to life in a fresh and imaginative new musical!
Book by Susan Wokoma
Directed by Paul Roseby
Music by Naomi Hammerton
A story about being an outsider, finding your home, and living forever. Somehow.
Baroque and roll meets gospel and soul in a funny, heart breaking and joyous new musical.
Music giants Handel and Hendrix lived next door to each other in London, separated only by time, and a very thin wall. When one of the super-fans visits the current Handel and Hendrix museum she decides to outstay her welcome, much to the surprise of the original residents who never really left.
Book by BAFTA Breakthrough Brit and NYT alum Susan Wokoma, original music by composer and musician Naomi Hammerton, directed by NYT Artistic Director Paul Roseby, and starring Britain’s best young talent from the National Youth Theatre.
