The Parent Agency – A new family musical premiers at the Storyhouse in Chester

The musical will run from 15 February to 2 March

Imagine you could choose the perfect parents…

Well, now you can with The Parent Agency, the hilarious new family musical adapted by David Baddiel from his best-selling book. It features music by acclaimed songwriter Dan Gillespie Sells (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie).

Barry Bennett is sick of his parents. Because:

1) They’re boring.
2) They don’t buy him any cool stuff.
3) They’re really, really strict.
4) They named him Barry. Seriously, who names their kid Barry?

So he wishes for better ones – and ends up in an alternate universe where kids get to choose whoever they’d like their parents to be! Cool, rich, famous, sporty? The Parent Agency will find them!

But be careful what you wish for…

Making its world premiere at Storyhouse in February, The Parent Agency is a riotous, fun-packed new musical for children, adults, and absolutely anyone who wishes they weren’t called Barry.

Directed by Tim Jackson (Two Strangers Carry A Cake Across New York).
