Theatre Guild

Ushers is a tongue-in-cheek musical that explores the plight of the attendants who sell us programmes, ice creams, show us to our seats and look after our coats as we enter the theatre. These hard-working front-of-house heroes have their own story to share at the opening of “Oops I Did It Again”, a jukebox musical featuring the back catalogue of Britney Spears. The producer of this extravaganza is Sir Andrew Lloyd Macintosser (you get the picture!) at his Theatre Nation London venue.

​

The ushers are about to begin their shift and we meet front-of-house manager Robin who is always pushing his crew to up-sell and increase the spend per head. He also has a lecherous eye for the ladies.

​

Lucy is new to the team and has a steep learning curve but is befriended by Rosie a “Stagey Ninja” who stalks leading men and takes her under her wing to show her the ropes.

​

Gary is leaving after four years to fulfil his ambition to join a theatre company, much to the angst of his lover Ben.

​

Then there is Stephen who is desperate to be an actor and falls in love with Lucy.

Of course all of them want to star in a musical and achieve their dreams and by the finale they do.
