NO LOVE SONGS Comes to the Foundry Theatre at Sydney Lyric
Performances run 7 March – 13 April.
NO LOVE SONGS is a powerful and uplifting modern love story that packs an emotional punch with beautifully written songs and honest storytelling that will star Keegan Joyce (Rake, Please Like Me) and Lucy Maunder (Chicago, Mary Poppins).
This highly acclaimed new musical by Kyle Falconer, lead singer of the Scottish band The View, will tour Australia this year, beginning with an exclusive season at Sydney’s newest venue, Foundry Theatre, at Sydney Lyric playing from 7 March to 13 April 2025.
NO LOVE SONGS began life in 2023 with a sellout season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a tour of the UK and has just completed its off-Broadway season ahead of a New York opening in March. This dynamic new musical is inspired by Kyle Falconer’s real-life experiences with his partner Laura Wilde. Songs featured in this modern romance are taken from Falconer’s second solo album, No Love Songs for Laura, and have been reimagined for the stage.
This funny, hard-hitting musical brings to life the joys and struggles of madly in love Jessie (Keegan Joyce) and Lana (Lucy Maunder) as they navigate the challenges of their new lives as parents. This is further complicated when singer/songwriter Jessie gets his big break in America, leaving Lana isolated back at home with their new baby. What follows is an emotional roller-coaster of turmoil, raw emotions and tears. Will the sparks that were there yesterday get them through tomorrow?
Actor and singer Keegan Joyce is best known for his starring role as Finnegan “Fuzz” Greene, the son of Richard Roxburgh’s character in ABC TV series Rake, as well as his featured role in ABC TV’s Please Like Me. Lucy Maunderhas cemented her reputation as one of Australia’s leading theatre artists with multiple award nominations and a variety of starring roles in music theatre productions that have toured both nationally and internationally.
NO LOVE SONGS will be Co-Directed by Andrew Panton and Tashi Gore. Andrew Panton is the current Artistic Director of Scotland’s Dundee Rep.
