finally a catchy tune! [Ride, A New Musical (The Old Globe)]

Proclaimers scale: we would ride from our house to The Old Globe on bicycles (if we had those bike shorts with padded butts) to see this show. March 30 – April 28, 2024 Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center American premiere Book, music, and lyrics by Freya Catrin Smith Music and lyrics by Jack Williams Directed by Sarah Meadows Ready, set, ride! The smash-hit London musical makes its U.S. premiere. It’s 1895, and Annie Londonderry wants to discover if a woman can ride a bicycle around the world. The problem? She’s only ridden one twice! As Annie and her unwitting secretary Martha share unbelievable adventures across four continents, they learn that no matter how far we ride, our past is always right behind us. With a high-energy score and a wildly versatile cast, this fresh and funny show is what Theatre Weekly called “an amazing piece of theatre and a must-watch for everyone.” This production includes strong language.
