Norwich Theatre's reputation for championing new shows continues to grow as a musical is heading to the city on its debut tour.

Six, My Son's A Queer (But What You Do?) and Cake – The Marie Antoinette Playlist have gone on to West End success, but they all started with performances in Norwich.

Hoping to follow in their footsteps is Nel's Place, which will be at Stage Two on March 22 and 23 2024 and theatre company Sheep Soup is presenting it.

The show is a part of the consortium Rewrites that Norwich Theatre is part of, which selects a musical in development to tour across its venues.

Ben Welch, the artistic director of Sheep Soup, said: "Trapped in a hoard of memories and music, Nel yearns to make space for granddaughter Molly's 16th birthday celebrations.

"Can Nel find a way through grief to let her family in?

"Nel's Place examines what material things really mean to us and how easily we can become buried by the past."
