00:00 This is something we've been working on for a very long time, isn't it guys?
00:03 And you can expect lots of laughter, lots of love and friendship
00:08 and it's a story about four friends who make a pact to embark on their summer of love.
00:14 So it's very in keeping with the steps and our world.
00:18 What's lovely is we heard a script reading of the script as it is today
00:23 and we were so excited because you could almost tell which song would go into the next bit of the show.
00:29 So yeah, I think we're excited to see what the bands think.
00:33 We wanted something geographically to kind of sit right slap bang in the middle
00:40 so everybody could travel to.
00:41 So that's why we have chosen Birmingham for the premiere of this musical.
00:47 Do you know what? We've been coming to Birmingham for years and we've toured here for a very, very long time
00:51 and I think all of us can say our memories of it are always really warm
00:55 and we've always been made to feel so welcome when we come here.
00:58 So it feels like the perfect place to start this journey.
01:02 Faye and I have both done musicals in this theatre.
01:05 No stranger to this theatre.
01:07 So it's so exciting to be able to say that we've got our own show.
01:11 We have co-producers on our own show coming to this theatre.
01:15 Very excited.
01:16 But here and now our brand new British musical is coming to Birmingham to the Alexandra Theatre.
01:22 Tickets are on sale now.
01:25 We've also, our pre-sale has, what's the fact that we have?
01:28 Broken all box office records for this theatre.
01:31 Yes, we did it in two hours.
01:34 And it will be starting in November.
01:36 The 9th of November until the 24th is it?
01:40 I believe so.
