MANBand the story

by Bloomin' Good Productions

“Dreams - We all have them”.

Set in everyone’s favourite pub, events take a turn when one of the regulars sits in the wrong seat and for once they all have to talk to each other.  Musical dreams discussed and dissected , Kev, Bas, Eric and Frank are too old to form a Boyband. But what about a MANBand?

Adapted from the acclaimed production MANBand the Musical, this show is an uplifting feel–good story in word and song . They hope for one last shot at fame and fortune,  sending women wild with their sensible haircuts and cuddly physiques. But the path to success is a tricky one. Will arguments, arrogance and egos bring it all crashing down or is it never too late to live out your dreams.

Following The Musical Production audiences and critics said;

“Didn’t stop smiling from start to finish and the songs are sublime”  

“The audience is left hoping that MANBand – the Band will live on. MANBand the musical deserves the same”

“Its a feel-good show thats warm and witty – Deliciously Bonkers”
