Standing at the Sky’s Edge is a bold, beautiful and brilliant new musical – review
Standing at the Sky’s Edge is perhaps one the rarest and most precious commodities – it’s a genuinely excellent new British musical, something to be cherished whenever it appears. With songs by renowned singer songwriter Richard Hawley and a book by Chris Bush, its story is set in the iconic Park Hill estate which overlooks the city of Sheffield; recently redeveloped and with an entirely different demographic of people moving in, it’s a bold, beautiful and brilliant social commentary focusing on class and gentrification. Not only is it genuinely very interesting, it’s also surprisingly funny and wonderfully uplifting.
