A SMASHING MUSICAL COMEDY STARRING ROSEMARY ASHE AND SARA CROWE

It’s 1963 and Dame Dorothea Dosserdale School for Girls has a proud tradition of fostering free spirits from all walks of life – so it’s a crushing blow when the new Headmistress turns out to be a tyrant with strict Victorian values.

St. Trinians meets Malory Towers in new musical Crush: a coming-of-age romp that celebrates schoolgirl friendships and fighting for what you believe in!

Starring Rosemary Ashe (The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables , Oliver!, Mary Poppins) and Sara Crowe (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hay Fever, Private Lives) prepare for riotous routines and hockey sticks to the fore as our girls battle to save their school – and find true love – in this smashing musical comedy from the creators of Bad Girls The Musical.

“Kath Gotts strikes me as the brightest new prospect for British musical theatre in years” Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph
