A fresh and joyful musical adaptation
Life’s pretty hard when you’re a misunderstood and spotty
teenager living in a cul-de-sac in 80s Leicester. Adrian’s life
simply can’t get any worse – until new girl Pandora joins a
class and captures his heart. But can Adrian win her love and
escape from the school bully and his chaotic family life?
Based on Sue Townsend’s best selling book, this outrageously
funny tale of teenage angst and unrequited love features one of
the most endearing comedy characters of all time.
From the team behind Priscilla and Made in Dagenham, this
new production of a hit West End musical, based on the
classic novels which also inspired the iconic ITV sitcom, has an
infectious score that will make you laugh whilst tugging at
your heartstrings.
