East Midlands Railway (EMR) is excited to announce a competition offering its customers the chance to win tickets to the critically acclaimed musical, Standing at the Sky’s Edge.
Standing at the Sky’s Edge has garnered widespread acclaim, winning prestigious awards such as the Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production. Transferring to the West End after sold-out runs at the National Theatre and Sheffield Theatres, this musical has been hailed as "the most exciting new British musical in years" by WhatsOnStage.
Directed by Sheffield Theatres’ Artistic Director Robert Hastie, Standing at the Sky’s Edge features irresistible songs by legendary singer-songwriter Richard Hawley and a poignant book by Chris Bush.
The musical serves as a heartfelt exploration of the history of modern Britain, weaving together the hopes, dreams, and struggles of three generations against the backdrop of a landmark housing estate.
