‘Reception: The Wedding Present Musical’ has been officially launched

The show, which is inspired by – and features – the songs of David Gedge will premiere in Leeds this coming August as part of The Wedding Present’s continuing 40th anniversary celebrations.

A story of love, loss, break ups and breakdowns – everything you’d expect from a Wedding Present song – the show tells the story of a group of Leeds University friends who keep in touch over five years of trials, tribulations and life events… including a graduation ceremony, a funeral, a wedding and, of course, the accompanying reception.

Reception is set in and around Leeds in the late 1980s and will be presented before a mixture of cabaret-style seating as well as more traditional raked seating. The musical will premiere in Slung Low at The Warehouse in Holbeck, Leeds.
