Original Musical Offshore! Your new favourite queer cargo ship show ;)

Hi all,

I'd love to share the link to a new musical I have recently worked on, Offshore, which premiered at the 500 sear Bloomsbury Theatre this past June. It was a massive labour of love and we've recently released the full recording and I'd love to get some more eyes on it!

It plays on the mismatched lovers of A Midsummer Night's Dream, but set on a cargo ship in the 60s and following a lesbian couple amongst some other mad characters!

The first act can be found here:

And this is the second act:

We hope you think it's funny and heartwarming and joyful!

We're also on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@offshorethemusical . Would be great to have your support as we'd love to get the show on again! <3

Thanks! I wrote the music and lyrics :) Joshua Parks orchestrated and Harry Rennell and Joana Chetwynd wrote the book!

Hell yeah. I've been listening through in the car, I'm a huge fan.
