PAST SHOWS
"A wonderfully inventive work that genuinely has something to say - and has terrific fun saying it. A joy."
The Times (on The Mouse Queen)
THE RHYTHMICS
THE RHYTHMICS is a new British musical comedy exploring the crisis of masculinity through the conceit of ‘Manchester’s Premier Male Rhythmic Gymnastics Performance Ensemble’. Think Full Monty crossed with Cool Runnings (plus twirly ribbons).
Tragically the show had to be closed ON ITS PRESS NIGHT due to an outbreak of Covid. It's a plucky little show, and it will be back.
THE RHYTHMICS premiered at
Southwark Playhouse in December 2021
Produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment and Metta Theatre
