Standing At The Sky’s Edge tickets London 

Winner of the Best New Musical at the 2023 Olivier Awards, Standing at the Sky's Edge makes its much-anticipated transfer to the West End. Book your tickets to this beautiful, hilarious, and gut-wrenching love letter to Sheffield now. 

A castle built of streets in the sky. The remarkable production tells the story of three generations, weaving a narrative that spans the full spectrum of human emotion. 

Poppy would like to start a new life away from her old one in London. Joy and Jimmy want to spend the rest of their days together and Rose and Harry yearn for a new life, one that they’ve been promised. 

A love letter to Sheffield and a history of modern Britain told through the stories of one iconic estate, Standing at the Sky’s Edge charts the hopes and dreams of three generations over the course of six tumultuous decades. 

A brief history

The multi-award-winning musical first premiered at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre in 2019. The critically acclaimed production, directed by artistic director Robert Hastie, saw rave reviews and was subsequently revived at the theatre three years later, before then transferring to the Olivier Theatre at the National Theatre. The show received eight Olivier Awards while playing at the National Thetare, winning the award for Best New Musical and Best Original Score or New Orchestration. 

The production is now making its highly anticipated transfer to the West End. Opening at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from February 2024.
