The Graduates: A Brand New Musical

A heartfelt coming-of-age musical, following six close-knit friends as they step out of the safety of University and into the chaos of adulthood. With new jobs, blossoming romances, and the struggle to keep their friendships intact, they navigate the highs and lows of life after graduation — all through energetic choreography and an unforgettable soundtrack. Bursting with humour, heart, and hope, this is a story about growing up, growing apart, and finding your place in the world. Audiences can expect fun, catchy songs, engaging characters, and emotionally resonant storytelling that speaks to anyone who's ever felt unsure of their future. Written by exciting new voice Alice May, this fresh new musical has already been called “absolutely amazing! Funny, sensitive and touching” and “the next big musical” by early viewers. With “unbelievably first-class” writing and “up-and-coming stars” bringing these relatable characters to life, The Graduates is a must-see for young adults — and anyone who's ever faced the daunting question: what now?
