POLLY: A 21st Century Love Story, the first musical about Polyamory comes to London’s West End for a special one-off concert at The Phoenix Arts Club on 11th February 2025.
POLLY is the brand new musical from exciting creative team Dirks and Tapper, with book & lyrics by award-winning comedian Natalie Durkin, music & lyrics by Joe Tapper and directed by Amy Anders Corcoran.
Loving more than one person. Is that allowed? POLLY is a story of what it takes to learn to love yourself.
Polly knows she loves her boyfriend. And her girlfriend. And polyamory has been around as long as Morning Glory. So what’s she really worried about? A wedding invite might be the chance to fix things. But how do you get your girlfriend to a family wedding when everyone expects your boyfriend to attend? With an STD (Save The Date), family drama, a run through the rain, and an unwanted proposal, POLLY invites us to experience the orgasmic highs and heart-stopping lows of one person’s journey to acceptance in a farcical modern romantic comedy.
