What's the story of Close Up: The Twiggy Musical?
The story of a skinny kid from Neasden who became the most famous teenager on the planet and the ‘face of the 1960’s may seem like the stuff of fairy tales, but there is tragedy as well as triumph in this intimate portrayal of a true 20th century icon.
It’s the story of a young working class woman who faced snobbery and sexism in a pre-Me Too world and yet achieved her dreams without ever compromising who she was.
Who are the creative team of Close Up: The Twiggy Musical?
Written and directed by Ben Elton with set & video design by Tim Bird, choreography by Jacob Fearey, costume design by Jonathan Lipman, sound design by Gregory Clarke and musical supervision/ orchestrations by Stuart Morley.
