Mini Musicals 2018 Announced!
Back by popular demand, A Play, a Pie and a Pint are delighted to present another season of brand new Mini Musicals!
This year’s thrilling line up will have you shimmying to the hot Latin beat of Carmen, chilling out in the cool of a remote Scottish Island, taking the temperature as clouds gather in ancient Greece and feeling the fear of First Lady Melania as she faces the Oval Office ghosts.
Will a philosophy school for wastrels change the ways of a gambling-obsessed youth? Is there life after mobile phones? Is Carmen willing to die for love? Will a Matador turn up in Cranhill? Can we squeeze a four act opera into fifty minutes? And find out the answer to the question on everyone’s lips: can Melania sing?!?
Following another hugely popular run in 2017, the third season of mini musicals is set to be packed. Don’t miss out on the hottest ticket in town!
