An exciting cast and creative team has been announced for the major UK revival of acclaimed modern Broadway hit Spring Awakening, which opens later this month at the award-winning Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester.

You probably won't have heard of us, but Perfect Pitch is a non-profit theatre company which, since 2006, has been 100% dedicated to creating, developing and promoting new British musicals, and engaging new, diverse and younger audiences with the art form. Most of our development work to date has been made possible by partnering with regional theatres, drama colleges and universities from around the UK.

Having premiered on Broadway in 2005, The Color Purple was first seen on the London stage back in 2013 at the Menier Chocolate Factory. The production, directed by John Doyle, subsequently transferred to Broadway, launching British actress Cynthia Erivo to international stardom.

THE COLOR PURPLE played in concert at the Cadogan Hall last night, directed and produced by Danielle Tarento, and co-produced by Matthew Chandler for the British Theatre Academy. BroadwayWorld has photos from the evening below!
