'Oh me, Oh my, this is getting very weird,
And the truth actually is that I'm really quite a-feared,
That I'm trapped in this world for the rest of my days
Where I can't avoid the sickening urge to rhyme on every phrase'


After its successful performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, the cast of Force 9½ was invited to bring the show to London for the Perfect Pitch Festival in October.  This brand new piece of music theatre, which was created by the freelance artistic team with a group of young talents in 9½ days, tells the story of a little boy Billy, whose ordinary life is turning into a musical against his will!

YMT: UK’s production of Force 9½ won an MTM: UK Commendation for Musical Theatre at Edinburgh 2007 and a five-star review from BroadwayBaby.com. In October, you are all invited again to take part in the twists and turns of Billy’s musical adventure.
