Clubbing is coming to the theatre
God Is A DJ, a brand new, electrifying musical in development, is set to bring the world of DJs and club culture to the stage. Blending a live DJ, live band, and iconic dance hits, it reimagines the pulse of electronic dance music in a bold theatrical experience.
Written by Olivier Award winner Jessica Swale, God Is A DJ will be directed by Olivier Award winner Vicky Featherstone, with Musical Direction by BAFTA-winning Matthew Brind.
With a live band, DJ, and featuring some of the greatest iconic dance anthems, God Is a DJ is a tale about the endurance of love and human connection, the ecstasy and pain of superstardom and the power of music to heal across the dance floor.
An intimate story about meeting across the divide of classical music and dance club culture, God Is A DJ begins as a play yet climaxes in a euphoric live DJ set, inviting the audience to dance as the story spills out from the stage and into the auditorium. The story has been developed by Vicky Featherstone, Matthew Brind and Jessica Swale.
The title song "God Is A DJ" has been written exclusively for the show by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer David Arnold with acclaimed British songwriter Karen Poole, alongside Sam Harper, an emerging talent in the dance world.
God is a DJ is an original concept conceived by producer Irit Ten Hengel. Following her work on the upcoming musical Obsessed, based on the life and songs of legendary songwriter Diane Warren, Ten Hengel injects her innovation, creativity and passion from the music business directly into the world of theatre.
Donna Munday will serve as Executive Producer.
