“GIG. A brand new musical from the producer of Classic Albums Live. GIG features all original music centred around five singers and their quest for the lights, alongside two booking agents and their quest for the money. Come beyond the velvet rope and see what goes on backstage – where talent runs free and egos run wild.

GIG features:

The Diva: A smart, beautiful singer who’s seen it all. Her conflict is career vs. love.

Jason, The Rock Star: He does what he wants, when he wants. The tighter you squeeze him, the more slippery he gets.

Belle: We watch her transform from a secretary to a Supernova. Her songs are all about dreams coming true.

The Rapper: He’s the show’s MC! He keeps things moving and controls the backstage mayhem.

The Groupie: She’s crazy and funny. She spends a lot of the show in bed.

Instead of a pit band, GIG features musicians onstage, performing and interacting with the Stars. GIG also spotlights a 4-piece ensemble that physically change the sets and let the audience in on all of the backstage secrets.

GIG is about dreams coming true.”

Walsh has checked in with the following update:.
