Show

Commissioned by producer Kenny Wax, George and Anthony have written a completely original score for this musical adaptation of Erich Kästner’s iconic novel ‘The Parent Trap’. It’s a hauntingly beautiful and timeless tale of two identical twins separated as babies, and their wily determination to stitch their family back together. It’s a story packed with wonderful humour and characters which makes it a great canvas to become a musical and retell for a 21st-century audience.
