Theatre: Musical Rewrites – The Marriage of Kim K at The Lowry

This genre-bending musical – which features pop, electronica, and classical arias – was inspired by Gogglebox. On the night before their anniversary, Mike and Amanda have very different suggestions about what to watch on TV: Keeping Up with the Kardashians or a Mozart opera? But is this argument more serious than just a petty squabble? How different can you be from the love of your life? This three-in-one rom-com looks to well-known couples to answer these questions. Kim Kardashian is looking forward to a fairy-tale marriage to her trophy husband, NBA star Kris Humphries but does her heart actually belong to Kanye? There’s also the Count and Countess from The Marriage of Figaro, who have drifted apart because the former has his eye on a pretty young blonde. It’s about time the Countess donned her wig and played a trick on this old dog. Before each performance, there will be a short curtain raiser from a different musical theatre company.
