Our next big show…

Level Up!

by Lucy Watson & Julian Kirk

Level Up! is a musical comedy developed in Bristol by a team of South-West based creatives. It’s already had its first fifteen minutes of showtime at the Bristol Old Vic New Writing Festival in June 2024, and subsequently received R&D funding to develop the script and songbook. It has now been through the R&D process, has a full songbook and is hoping for a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025.

See our Events page for sneak peaks, previews and cabaret performances of the songbook or keep scrolling for more about the show!

About the show

"What if life were a game?

Level Up! is a fast-paced musical comedy about three young gamers who try and play life like a game. Jo wants to rule the world, Raff wants to change it, and Bobby just wants to escape reality for as long as he can. But levelling up - whether in cryptocurrency, charity, or purpose – is harder than it looks, especially when a comically distracting cutscene chorus keeps butting in with unwanted advice and unreliable information. How do you win?

Save the world! Risk it all! And if you fail, just play again!

Featuring a dazzling mix of retro-futuristic beats, old-school swing, and 8-bit gaming melodies, Level Up! playfully satirizes the blurred lines between virtual and real worlds. With its comically chaotic cutscene chorus, relatable characters, and irresistibly catchy songs, this musical has something for everyone!
