Theatre world premiere: a special message from Storyhouse

In two weeks time, we will be having the world premiere of a brand new British musical right here in Chester.

You might not know this, but before Matilda the Musical became a global phenomenon, it began its life in Stratford upon Avon. Now, Storyhouse is doing the same for The Parent Agency – premiering it here before it heads to the West End and embarks on a worldwide tour.

This is a huge moment for Storyhouse and for our city. Bringing world-class theatre to Chester before it goes anywhere else is at the heart of our mission. This is a big deal, and we can’t wait for you to experience this show.

We know how much our audiences love theatre – your support makes Chester an incredible place to open new shows. That’s why we’re inviting you to be part of something truly special. Come and see The Parent Agency here first, before the rest of the world gets the chance.

What’s more – we control the ticket prices at Storyhouse, which means you can experience this musical at the lowest ticket prices possible. Once it hits the West End, ticket prices will soar. This is your opportunity to experience it first, at the best price, right on your doorstep.

We want to show West End and international theatre producers that Chester is the place to open their new shows. Your incredible support for The Time Traveller’s Wife in 2023 helped make this possible – now, let’s do it again.
Join us in making theatre history. Be part of this world premiere.
