Spangle Entertainment / Spangle UK, a theatrical production and development company with offices in Canada and England is delighted to introduce a new musical called “The Tour”.
Audiences everywhere share a deep fascination with the world of entertainment and all its glitter, excitement and larger than life stories. Be it film, music or theatre, people have a thirst for both the end product and the inside stories behind the “silver curtain”. There is an innate understanding that what we see before us is truly only the tip of the iceberg. The countless hours of hard work, time away from loved ones, the powder keg of highly creative people being thrown together along with the ever present pressures inherent to this life style – are the elements that shape the reality of being a performer.
“The Tour” takes us on a ride with a national theatre company “chuggin’ along”, keeping it together through both the good times and the bad. Relationships carry the baggage of passion and insecurity fueled by a highly charged mix of dealing with mind numbing routine knowing full well that the next crisis is just around the corner. The result – a rare and truthful look into the lives of performers on the oad. This is a story of the behind the scenes life on a tour bus.
The loss of innocence, the cryptic and the jaded and the never ending need to find ways of getting it done are the real stories of making a living in this wonderfully flawed industry of entertainment.
This is an opportunity to experience the highs and lows of an actor’s life through their own stories and music.
With a cast from the stages of London and New York , “The Tour” is directed by Thom Selwood, the creator and director of Snakes! The Musical.
”The Tour” is an original work written by Jennifer Harding and Ricky Johnston with music by John Kristian, Jennifer Harding and Ricky Johnston.
