★★★★ “An irresistible show” – The Times

In Dreams is the thrilling new musical that uses the iconic music of Roy Orbison to tell a contemporary story about love, written by David West Read (Schitt’s Creek, & Juliet) and directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, In The Heights).

The show promises to be an extraordinary celebration of the power of people coming together, and a feel-good musical about love, loss and the legacy we leave behind.

The show features 20 of Roy Orbison’s greatest and most iconic songs.

In Dreams is running at Leeds Playhouse in Leeds from 3 July to 5 August 2023. This show is highly tipped to transfer to the West End, although there’s currently no confirmed news on the transfer, or any dates or venue information. Sign-up for our Email Alerts to be the first to hear.

Set in New Mexico, the story revolves around the former lead singer of a country-rock band, who, at a critical moment in her life, invites her old bandmates to join her for “the party of a lifetime” while keeping her true motivations a secret. In Dreams will take you on a joyous uplifting but also moving journey —a lyrical and comedic exploration of the universal longing for love and connection when facing challenging times.
