What songs will the musical include?
The musical's synopsis doesn't give away what all of the songs will be, but they do tease at some.
It seems that famous quotes have been turned into songs, with '(He’s her) Lobster!', 'Richard’s Moustache' and 'You’re Over Me? When Were You Under Me?' all featuring.
The full synopsis reads: When Ross’ wife leaves him for another woman, he fears he will never find love again.
"But then Rachel runs back into his life… will he end up with his one true love?
"Featuring original songs such as ‘(He’s her) Lobster!’, ‘Richard’s Moustache’ and ‘You’re Over Me? When Were You Under Me?’, the gang take on naked Thursdays, a power cut, and a dinosaur convention.
What could possibly go wrong?"
Where can I get tickets?
Tickets are available to book on the British Theatre website.
