New musical Realms of Glory to run in Manchester this December

New musical Realms of Glory is to run in Manchester this December.

Imaginality Productions (Mallory On The Mountain) will present performances of the festive show from 14 – 22 at 53Two in Manchester.

Realms of Glory is a new stage musical with Music & Lyrics by Ollie Mills and a book co-written with Rachel Mann.

It’s Christmas 1940 and the Blitz has come to Manchester. Set to a toe-tapping score inspired by the golden age of wartime music, this brand-new musical tells the story of the lively locals trying to navigate their broken world.

Trapped beneath the streets, Lizzie Horton takes us on a whistle-stop tour of her life in Manchester; her formative years, a whirlwind romance with her RAF pilot husband, Bob, and encounters with her pals Mavis, Jim and Ida.

Guaranteed to raise some smiles and prepare you for the Festive season, “Realms Of Glory” takes a heartwarming look at dealing with grief and fighting for second chances.

Realms Of Glory received its first workshop in 2019 and the team are thrilled to finally be bringing the show to life, two years after the centenary of the Manchester Blitz.

Amelia Simpson and Alex Cosgriff will play Lizzie and Bob Horton, alongside Rebecca McAuley and Ben Kawalec as Mavis and Jim Snow. Ella Haywood will play Ida Barnes. The show is to be directed by its co-creator, Ollie Mills, with Musical Direction from Joe Clayton and production management from Emily Humphrys.
