After receiving rave reviews, being shortlisted as one of only ten musicals for the Musical Theatre Review Best Musical Award and being nominated for Best Musical at the Broadway World Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017, Streetlights, People! Productions' revival of Ordinary Days returns to London as the winner of the Drayton Arms' Eddies Kensington Award, intended to identify "the most exciting new companies at this year's Fringe Festival." This production began with a sold-out engagement at the Hen and Chickens Theatre last October before transferring to London Theatre Workshop.

***** "a delight to see this compelling work performed with such conviction and talent" Broadway World

Ordinary Days is a contemporary musical, set in modern-day New York. It follows the parallel lives of four young city-dwellers struggling to find meaning in the madness: Claire, who can't let go of her past; Jason, determined to begin their future together; Warren, an artist who's lost his sense of purpose; and Deb, a student who's lost her thesis notes. It is a witty, poignant, and ultimately very relatable story about human connection and finding beauty in unexpected places.
