Production Details



Inside the Rising Sun pub, people come and share their troubles by either complaining about them or trying to get over it. This revue centres around the theme of overcoming some kind of obstacle, whether it be love, loss, hate, anger, confusion or displacement. The audience will enter the world of the “characters” that are visiting the Rising Sun for the night and begin to see and empathise with their struggles that cover aspects from the past, present and future. 

With a variety of songs from artists such as Queen, Green Day, Ed Sheeran and Elton John, this revue promises to offer audiences a great night out at your new local.  

This touching piece is designed to show the many sides to overcoming obstacles. Featuring hits from Green Day, P!nk and many other favourites, the cast are sure to have audience members of any age singing along.

The songs showcased take the audience on many routes to overcome whatever is in front of them. Whether you want to boogie to Queen, or reflect with Ed Sheeran, this revue has a song for you.
