Blacklist Entertainment is proud to announce
its role as producer of its first musical
REHAB The Musical
The future depends on what you do today!
Our new innovative British musical is set to bring a powerful message to London audiences later this year. Darkly comic with characters you don’t immediately expect to sympathise with, you’ll find yourself swept up in an emotional journey with thumpingly memorable songs that you’ll be humming on your way home.
SENT TO REHAB
It’s 1999 and an understanding Judge gives 26-year old pop star Kid Pop a choice of punishment for being caught red-handed in a drug-fuelled tabloid sting. He can choose between six weeks in Rehab or jail. It’s a no-brainer, Rehab will be like a holiday!
But Kid has no idea what lies in store for him at The Glade Rehab Centre. Each of the ‘guests’ at The Glade have their own sordid stories of addiction, desperation and a belief that they will turn their lives around and leave as better people. The brutal honesty, secrets and broken souls suggest a different ending.
Pole-dancer Lucy can see through Kid Pop’s show-business veneer but will her own darkness plunge them both into a life-threatening dilemma? Will Kid’s business manager, Malcolm, weedle his way into Rehab to make a financial killing out of his client’s situation? Can Kid Pop trust anyone, will he find true friendship …or even love?
Balancing dark comedy with an eclectic musical score, this timeless story is about us all: changing our lives for the better, one day at a time.
Rehab is raw, energetic, soulful and cathartic. Everyone is searching for love, peace, serenity and a slightly better fish pie!
WHY REHAB?
Our exceptional production is a social statement on addiction and the desperation and sadness that sweeps over people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.
*Over a quarter of a million of us are in contact with drug and alcohol services every single year, in theUK. Between April 2020 and March 2021,T 130,490 people who actively entered treatment.
Join us for a dazzling spectacle of British musical theatre talent that will set pulses racing and hearts pounding as we learn about the soaring highs and tragic lows of the ‘guests’ of The Glade Rehab Centre.
The arts have always been an important lens for social commentary. But after closing our doors to the public for the last two years, due to the pandemic, we desperately need the power of live musical theatre to bring meaning, light and joy back into our lives.
