Lift: a new musical

Straight from its smash, sold-out run in London's West End, this exciting new musical makes its American premiere in a new production. Music and Lyrics by Craig Adams Libretto by Ian Watson Originally Developed with Perfect Pitch When, eight people get in a LIFT at Covent Garden tube station on an ordinary morning, everything will change. They may be complete strangers, but in some way they are all connected and if they reached out to one another they might just change their lives forever. The journey of the lift takes just one minute - will they do something about it today or will they choose to carry on being anonymous, walking off into the rush and losing themselves once more in the city? LIFT is about people and connections. The connections we have without knowing, the connections we lose sight of and the connections we don’t mean to have.

"The torment of The French Teacher and the utter vulnerability of the Lap Dancer had a hold over the room that could not be denied, and that’s a testament to acting in its purest form. ...this cast left it all on that stage." - Jessica Mastronardi, Front Row Center
