"...would not have looked out of place on a West End Stage - which is no doubt where Loserville is headed in the not too distant future, hopefully along with many of its young and talented cast" - Bracknell News
Michael Dork is 17. They call him nerd, geek, slacker. Socially marginalised by the entire school and constantly picked on by Eddie, the coolest boy in school, Michael is desperate to find his ticket outta Loserville. But when stunning new girl Holly arrives, Michael is introduced to a whole new world of cool.
This bold and brilliant new rock musical - performed by 35 of the UK’s most talented young performers and created by James Bourne and Elliot Davis - is a colourful and catchy ride through the life of the underdog. An original anti-hero tale, Loserville: the Musical is a story for those who feel they never quite fit in!
As part of the bands Busted and Son of Dork, James Bourne has had eighteen consecutive Top 3 singles, and has written for many other artists including McFly and Boyzone. His albums have sold over six million copies.
Presented in association with South Hill Park Arts Centre.
