Standing at the Sky's Edge enjoyed sell-out runs at the Sheffield Crucible and the Olivier at the National Theatre, before transferring to the Gillian Lynne Theatre in the West End in February 2024.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production and the 2020 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Theatre, Standing at the Sky’s Edge is a celebration of strength and solidarity across six decades, set to the irresistible sounds of Richard Hawley.

Rose and Harry want the new life they’ve been promised.
