UoS Music Presents | Why the Whales Came – MT Project

The Musical Theatre ensemble is made up of University of Southampton music students specializing in musical theatre voice and performance. They present an ‘in concert’ excerpt from ‘Why The Whales Came, A New Musical’, with book and lyrics by Nikki Racklin and music by Bella Barlow.

Based on Michael Morpurgo’s book of the same name, and directed by Simon Kane (‘Adrian Mole’/’In The Heights’).

‘Why the Whales Came’ is a poignant tale that highlights the importance of community, of people coming together in hard times and seeing the best in each other, no matter what… A polished piece of theatre that is screaming out for a future.’ Becky Wallis, Musical Theatre Review ★★★★★
