In July 2022, the musical adaptation of Tony Macaulay’s memoir ‘Breadboy’ opened in the Lyric Theatre in Belfast. Similar to Paperboy in 2018 and 2019, the show was a sell out!
Tony said:
‘When I was a child I dreamed of travelling through time to the past and the future. In 2018 and 2019, when British Youth Music Theatre brought my first memoir to life at the Lyric Theatre, it was like time travel. From the first rehearsal to the final curtain call of Paperboy I couldn’t quite believe I was seeing my childhood brought to life on the stage. Now Duke Special and Andrew Doyle have created a beautiful and authentic adaptation of Breadboy, directed with brilliance and love by Steven Dexter and Dean Johnson, and it’s thrilling to see so many talented young people bringing my teenage years alive.
