Sea Change: a new British musical of belonging, myth and the sea

The musical will run from 28th August to 30 August at Birmingham Hippodrome's Patrick Studio

Sea Change is a bold new folk musical exploring belonging, community, and the risks and rewards of stepping into the unknown.

British Youth Music Theatre partners with Birmingham Hippodrome to present this reimagination of Selkie folklore, written by New Music Theatre Award winners Will Jackson and Elinor Peregrin.

The story unfolds in Blackwater Cove, where under the rare phenomenon of the Tidal Eclipse, Selkies of the sea are granted a week to walk upon land. Shedding their enchanted seal coats, they live among humans and taste the possibilities of another world.

But when the full moon rises, the tide will turn.
Will they return to the sea or live their life on land?

Bursting with folk melodies, nautical ballads and rip-roaring shanties, Sea Change brings mythology into modern Britain in this heartwarming tale of the eternal pull between where we come from and who we might become.
