Acclaimed musical theatre composer and song-writer Drew Gasparini’s new contemporary musical We Aren’t Kids Anymore will mark its world premiere on Monday 28th April 2025.
Aimie Atkinson (SIX The Musical; Pretty Woman), Melanie La Barrie (Hadestown), Nigel Harman (Shrek; EastEnders), Cassius Hackforth (Jay Kelly, Netflix), Jenna Lee-James (Frozen) and Dylan Mulvaney (2023 Attitude’s Woman of the Year) will bring this heartfelt musical to life.
Originally an autobiographical tale, We Aren’t Kids Anymore has evolved into a poignant exploration of the complex, yet fundamentally universal, experience of navigating our path through life, and all the emotional multiplicity it brings; the highest joys, the deepest regrets, and the fleeting moments of pride – life is often a series of guesses, punctuated by key moments of feeling as we negotiate its inevitable failures and successes.
The story of this uplifting musical is told from 5 distinct perspectives, crossing age, generation and gender. We Aren’t Kids Anymore explores the complexities of having a dream, chasing that dream, and the rocky path between the two. At its core, this musical reminds us that, no matter who you are, growing up is still a journey of guesses made in the dark.
