Catch the world premiere of The Rhythmics at Southwark Playhouse 2 Dec 2021 - 8 Jan 2022
MEET MANCHESTER’S PREMIER ALL MALE RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE…
Hapless single-dad Grey is in a rut. Teenage daughter Silva packs him off to revive his rockstar dreams. He successfully auditions for ‘Nick & the Rhythmics' only to realise... He’s actually signed up for an all-male Rhythmic Gymnastics troupe.
Against the odds these burly blokes twirl their 'ribbons of fire' as far as the World Championships - and along the way Grey finally learns to embrace life. Calendar Girls meets Full Monty in this joyous new musical.
CONCEPT ALBUM
The album for this brand-new life affirming musical THE RHYTHMICS is now available to stream (or buy) on Spotify, iTunes and other digital platforms. The score explores the crisis of masculinity via a collection of oddballs belting their way through a thrillingly catchy guitar led score.
