Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical is based on the true story of the Cornish singing sensations, Fisherman’s Friends, and the hit 2019 film about their life. When a group of Cornish fishermen came together to sing the traditional working songs they’d sung for generations, they hoped to raise a few quid for charity. Nobody, least of all the fishermen, expected their story to end on the Pyramid stage of Glastonbury. Packed with sea shanties, Fisherman’s Friends is a feelgood voyage about friendship, community and music.
The production is directed by James Grieve and written by Amanda Whittington, with choreography by Matt Cole. More creative team include, musical direction by James Findlay and set and costume design by Lucy Osborne. Finally, musical supervision and arrangements by David White, sound by Dan Samson, lighting by Johanna Town and casting by Jim Arnold.
