Photo Flash: In Rehearsal for STRIKING 12 at Union Theatre

Oliver Kaderbhai directs Declan Bennett (Brendan), Bronté Barbé (The Match Girl), Danielle Kassaraté (Narrator), Kate Robson-Stuart and Leon Scott in hit Off-Broadway musical Striking 12 from Tony Award-winning Rachel Sheinkin and musical duo Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl, Striking 12 will open at the Union Theatre on 3 December, with previews from 28 November and runs until 23 December.

It's New Year's Eve and Brendan is done. His fiancée has left him, he's going to lose his job and his boss is making him work late. The last thing he wants to do is celebrate. A chance encounter with a lightbulb seller changes everything.

Springing to life with a punchy score of pop, rock, jazz and more, Striking 12 is the perfect way to see out 2018. Where will you be when the clock strikes 12?
