Do the Thing: Choose Your Own Musical

Where is it set? Who's it about? What is the plot? You tell us. Do the Thing are here to give you exactly the musical you want to see. Not only will the audience decide the setting and characters but they can also direct the plot.

Should the hero run off with the love of their life or become a monk and fight crime? Will the villain achieve world domination even though they couldn’t really be bothered? Will the hero and villain reject such reductive labelling, realise they’re just people, and hug it out already?

Be careful what you wish for as things can and will get very silly indeed.

Expect Do the Thing’s full throttle commitment to the daftest ideas, the most farcical characters and tunes you’ll be whistling for weeks after. All made up for you live by a cast of two (Yes Anderson & Stellar Firma’s Tim Meredith and Simon Plotkin) and an orchestra of one (Ian Scott).
