Tour Announcement: I Wish My Life Were Like a Musical

Updated 17-06-24

Following critically acclaimed seasons at Wilton’s Music Hall and several Edinburgh Festival Fringes, James Seabright has announced the debut UK and Ireland tour of Alexander S. Bermange’s hugely popular revue, I Wish My Life Were Like a Musical. This wonderfully humorous depiction of the unseen world of musical theatre has so far been lauded with an unprecedented fifty five-star reviews. With a cast of West End performers (to be announced), this definitive comedic musical revue reveals all there is to know about musical theatre and the people who love it on both sides of the curtain.
