World premiere of magical new family musical The Sorcerer's apprentice comes to HOME this Christmas... 

The world premiere of a magical new family musical in Manchester  by Richard Hough and Alexander S. Bermange 

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a magical festive musical treat for the whole family. 
This gripping family-friendly story sees brooms coming to life and love blossoming anew, as apprentice Eva discovers the explosive possibilities of her newfound magical powers, leaving havoc, catastrophe and joy in her wake. 
 
This enchanting new British musical receives its world premiere at HOME Manchester from Friday 27 November, also sees the welcome return of director Kirk Jameson, who in 2023 premiered Song From Far Away, starring Will Young, at HOME Manchester to standout reviews. The Guardian “thoughtful, engaging and superbly performed,” I Love Manchester praised its “poignant and personal” impact. The critically acclaimed production subsequently transferred to the Hampstead Theatre in London. 
 
Inspired by the classic Goethe poem that became an icon of Disney animation in Fantasia, this updated, gender-swapped twist on the timeless story is brought to life by a cast of 10. 
 
The show was first seen in an earlier digital version that won worldwide acclaim upon its release in 2021. This brand-new version features stunning new music and songs by award-winning Alexander S. Bermange (I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical) and direction by acclaimed director Kirk Jameson (Song From Far Away at HOME; Glorious! at Hope Mill Theatre; Madagascar The Musical UK tour). 
Cast and full creative team to be announced.
