Featuring a book by Enda Walsh, with Academy Award-winning music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, the show is based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney. It tells the heartwarming story of an Irish busker and a young Czech mother who meet through a shared love of music.

John Tiffany will once again direct. Scenic and costume designs are by Bob Crowley, lighting is by Natasha Katz, sound is by Clive Goodwin, musical supervision and orchestrations are by Martin Lowe and movement is by Steven Hoggett.
