David Mirvish is delighted to present Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton's new musical THE BOYS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, which will play September 22 through November 1, 2009 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. This will be the second show of the 2009/2010 Mirvish Subscription Season and tickets will go on sale on Saturday August 22, 2009.
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton's THE BOYS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH tells the story of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this coming-of-age story is about a group of young men and women who are involved with a local soccer team at the start of a 30-year civil war. Some are drawn into the conflict, while others stand aside wanting only to be allowed to live and love in peace.Writer Ben Elton tells their story with humour and compassion, with lyrics that are both funny and heartbreaking. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's evocative score combines heart-searing ballads and stirring anthems. This powerful and passionate musical is a joyous celebration of the freedom that love can bring.
