Pop Art The Musical
A brand new pop musical from Manchester musical theatre duo leo&hyde.
The story follows Lisa, of Mona Lisa fame, as she hops from frame to frame on a journey through the history of art. Along the way, she meets famous (and not-so-famous) faces from art history, each of whom share their story in a narrative-driven pop song. From Michelangelo to Frida Kahlo, Gentileschi to Van Gogh, Andy Warhol to Instagram, the story is an upbeat meditation on representation and the role of images in life after the internet.
Originally developed with Rural Arts during a week long R&D in Thirsk, the show had another incarnation online as a digital musical with Offbeat Festival Oxford.
