Standing at the Sky’s Edge (Opens 8th February)

Co-produced by the National Theatre and Sheffield Theatres Standing at the Sky’s Edge first opened at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 2019 and again in 2022 before transferring to the Olivier Theatre at the National Theatre in London in 2023.

The production won the Olivier Awards for Best New Musical and the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production. Hailed as a love letter to Sheffield’, the musical follows the story of three generations over the course of six tumultuous decades, navigating universal themes of love, loss and survival.

With a soundtrack of songs written by legendary singer-songwriter Richard Hawley and a beautiful book by Chris Bush. A heartfelt exploration of the power of community and what we call home.

Directed by Sheffield Theatres’ Artistic Director Robert Hastie, Standing at the Sky’s Edge is transferring to the West End’s Gillian Lynne Theatre on 8th February 2024.
