About Standing at the Sky's Edge
London Theatre raves about Standing at the Sky’s Edge saying: “from aching heartbreakers through to the mighty title number, this soul-stirring musical is a total triumph.”
Winner of the 2023 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, Standing at the Sky’s Edge is a kaleidoscopic portrait of life on an ever-changing estate, charting the highs and lows and loves and losses of three generations across six tumultuous decades on the iconic Park Hill estate.
In 1960, Rose and Harry are full of hope as they begin their exciting future in the newly constructed ‘streets in the sky’. Decades later, Liberian refugee Joy encounters the estate at its lowest ebb, but finds love with local boy Jimmy. In 2015, middle-class Poppy moves in to the fashionable redeveloped block, in search of a fresh start.
With award-winning music by legendary singer-songwriter Richard Hawley and a beautiful, hilarious and gut-wrenching book by Chris Bush, don’t miss your chance to experience this ‘deeply moving and monumental musical’ (Daily Telegraph) – performances must end 3 August.
