Hold on to your baggy trousers…
Winner of the 2003 Olivier Award for Best New Musical Our House is a touching tale of life and love, heartbreak and comedy, right and wrong, set to the hit songs of Madness.
Written but the multi-award winning Tim Firth (Calendar Girls, Neville’s Island, Kinky Boots), Our House features more than 15 greatest hits from Madness, including Our House, Baggy Trousers, Driving in My Car, Embarrassment, My Girl, Wings of a Dove, Night Boat to Cario and one of the best-loved pop songs of all times It Must Be Love.
Our House tells the story of Camden lad Joe Casey who on his sixteenth birthday tries to impress his new girlfriend by breaking into a building development. When the police turn up, Joe has to decide – run away, or face the music – a choice that will set the course of his life, and his love, forever.
