Based on the 2019 hit movie Military Wives and inspired by a true story, Military Wives - The Musical has its world premiere at York Theatre Royal this autumn (September 10-27).

With their husbands and partners away at war, the women left behind are isolated, bored and desperate to find a focus to take their minds off feelings of impending doom. Enter Olive, who arrives to help them form a choir and learn to sing...

Award-winning writer and director Debbie Isitt (Nativity!) said, “This musical about a group of women who triumph against all odds has been a joy to create.”

Theatre CEO Paul Crewes said: “It's a very moving, yet uplifting, story inspired by the film and the true story of the Military Wives choirs. It is also packed full of songs our audiences will know and love.”
