This new stage adaptation is directed by Hollywood, Broadway and West End producer and director Andy Fickman (Heathers The Musical), and boasts a book by the original movie’s screenwriters, Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, and music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (First Date).
13 Going on 30 The Musical is a stage reimagining of the beloved 2004 hit romantic comedy film that starred Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. The fantasy romantic comedy sees 13 year old Jenna wish that she was more popular at school, only to wake up the next day as a successful and glamorous 30 year old woman! But adulthood, with its own set of romantic challenges, isn’t as easy as it looks.
The North American premiere is produced by ROYO, Revolution Studios, Wendy Federman and Phil Kenny and is executive produced by Jennifer Garner.
ROYO’s other current UK shows include Kinky Boots The Musical.
