Bristol Old Vic will be hosting the world premiere of brand-new musical Starter for Ten we take a look inside rehearsals with photography from Marc Brenner.

Based on David Nicholls' novel and the cult 2006 film, Starter for Ten is produced by Antic Productions, Bristol Old Vic, Longshot Films and Playtone, with book and lyrics co-written by Emma Hall and Charlie Parham, Artistic Directors of Antic Productions.

Featuring an irresistible original soundtrack inspired by the riotous student scene of the 80s, Starter for Ten  is a bright, big-hearted coming-of-age comedy about love, belonging and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom.

The 80s-inspired original score and lyrics are composed by queer, pop-punk composers Tom Rasmussen and Hatty Carman.  A music video for "Touched by an Angel", the first track to be released from the new musical, can be viewed here: Starter for Ten | 'Touched by an Angel' Music Video - YouTube

Running at Bristol Old Vic from 29 Feb- 30 Mar.
