ACTUALLY, LOVE

PRESENTED BY GOYA THEATRE COMPANY
Rom-coms and pop songs collide in this brand-new musical rollercoaster from the award winning GOYA Theatre Company.

‘A Must-See…. GOYA Theatre Company has warmed my heart’ EdFringeReview (for previous work) 

Rom-coms and pop songs collide in a musical rollercoaster charting the highs and lows of gender trouble, romantic clichés and open-mic nights.

Alex is a songwriter struggling with writers block. Stevie is an actor auditioning for a rom com. When they bump into each other after many years, their worlds come crashing together.

Will they fall in love “properly” – as seen in Richard Curtis‘ 2003 mega-smash Love Actually? Or is that just for straight people?

Musical Theatre Review’s Special Award winners GOYA present a brand-new Queer love story starring Jordan Broatch and Sam Woof.

Praise for the cast:

‘Jordan Broatch… is blazingly engaging’ The Guardian

‘Magnetic’ The Stage

‘Mark my words, Sam Woof is going to be a strong voice in musical theatre in years to come’ Musical Theatre Review
