The new musical INDIGO will have its U.K. premiere at Curve's Studio Theatre this summer, with performances set to run June 26-July 19. The work is conceived by Jay Kuo, Lorenzo Thione, and Scott Evan Davis, and directed by Catie Davis.  

With music and lyrics by Davis and a book by Kait Kerrigan, Indigo follows Beverly, who opens her home to care for her mother when she is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. While she and her husband Rick adjust to their new circumstances, Beverly’s daughter Emma—a non-speaking autistic teenager with synesthesia—unexpectedly crashes back into her life. Her arrival forces Beverly and Rick to confront the past and learn whether they can become the family Emma so desperately needs.

The production will also feature musical supervision and orchestrations by Brad Haak. 

“I am thrilled to share this powerful, original musical with audiences in the U.K.," Davis said in a statement. "Scott and Kait’s writing beautifully captures the complexities of a modern family in a way that’s rarely explored in musical theatre, but that so many people can relate to and draw strength from. Curve’s Studio Theatre is a perfect home for Indigo's next steps and we can’t wait to spend the summer in Leicester.”

A range of accessible performances will be offered for Indigo, including a relaxed performance July 10, a British Sign Language interpreted performance July 11, a captioned performance July 16, a dementia friendly performance July 17, and a performance with audio description and a touch tour July 19.

The musical made its world premiere at The Human Race Theatre Company in Ohio in 2023. The musical is produced by Sing Out, Louise! Productions in association with Curve.
