The award-winning modern-day gay love story for everybody comes to Waterside, Sale, in a new version with bigger bops and more daring dance moves than ever before.
Guy: A New Musical premiered in 2018 at Hope Mill Theatre and The Bunker, and was the winner of Best Show at the Birmingham Fringe Festival 2018 and winner of Buxton Fringe Award for Best New Writing 2018.
Two years later, Guy is touring the UK and returns to Greater Manchester, sharing the story of a fat, gay, nerdy man looking for love. Combining electronic, pop and musical theatre, Guy is Queer As Folk meets Bridget Jones with a catfishing musical twist, leo&hyde’s award-winning Guy gives you 12 heart-pounding electronic pop anthems and witty, heartfelt story about modern dating through a diverse cross-section of gay men. Guy is a reminder that the only person you should be is yourself: #nofilter.
leo&hyde is a multi-award-winning musical theatre partnership, based in Manchester. We use current music to tell stories about modern life, technology and social media. Our work has been performed at The Lowry, Hope Mill Theatre, The Arcola, The Everyman, The Other Palace and The King’s Head Theatre, amongst other venues.
The company was set up in 2016, led by Cumbrian composer Stephen Hyde (shortlisted for the Cameron Mackintosh Resident Composer 2018) and Mancunian writer / producer Leo Mercer (a Stage One Producer).
Stephen and Leo commented: “We can’t wait to take Guy: A New Musical on our most ambitious tour to date. We’re big believers that a gay love story can speak to the entire world, and are delighted that in the next few weeks Guy will reach 17 different venues around the UK”
