The Weird Sisters
In July 2023, I had the privilege of co-creating, writing the music and lyrics for, and musical directing The Weird Sisters, a project I developed alongside Dalia Kay and Marie-Laure Corben during my MA in Musical Direction.
We premiered The Weird Sisters at Leeds Theatre Festival before taking it to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, where it garnered 4-star reviews from audiences and critics alike. The musical was praised for its stellar cast and compelling score, with Playbill listing it as one of their picks of the Fringe (and awarding it a 4-star rating as well).
This project was a truly rewarding experience, allowing me to showcase my work as a musical director and composer, whilst collaborating with talented creatives to bring something fresh to the stage.
We’re currently in conversations about taking The Weird Sisters further, exploring opportunities for future productions and development. Follow our socials to be kept in the loop!
