SING STREET the musical
John Carney’s beloved 2016 film SING STREET continues its artistic journey as it prepares for its UK stage premiere at London’s Lyric Hammersmith Theatre this summer. The musical adaptation, running from July 8 to August 23, 2025, brings the ’80s-infused coming-of-age story to British audiences following successful runs in Boston and New York.
In an exciting casting announcement, Adam Hunter will make his musical theatre debut as Brendan, a fitting role considering his history with the production. Hunter featured prominently on the original film soundtrack and served as the featured vocalist on the OST version of “To Find You.” To commemorate this full-circle moment, producers have released a new track titled “Outside,” performed by Hunter, which offers a glimpse into Brendan’s character—a young man afraid to venture beyond his room into the world.
“SING STREET has followed me throughout my career,” Hunter reflects. “Now, to be making my live theatre debut with this beautiful stage adaptation, featuring an incredible set of songs from the movie with brand-new music for the stage is a dream.”
Set in Dublin in 1982, SING STREET tells the story of sixteen-year-old Conor who forms a band to impress the mysterious aspiring model Raphina. Against the backdrop of family turmoil and the challenges of fitting into a new Catholic school, Conor discovers the transformative power of music and young love. The musical preserves the film’s exploration of these themes while expanding the emotional landscape through new compositions.
The stage adaptation boasts an impressive pedigree of Tony Award-winning talent. Enda Walsh, known for his work on ONCE (another John Carney film adaptation), pens the book, while Rebecca Taichman directs. The music comes from Gary Clark (of Danny Wilson fame) and John Carney himself, combining beloved songs from the original film with fresh material crafted specifically for the stage production.
