A fantastically spooky new musical

There is something not quite right about the house Coraline and her parents have moved into. The roof leaks, the wallpaper is peeling off the walls, the new neighbours are a little eccentric and her parents are so busy they hardly notice her at all.  

As Coraline explores her new home, she discovers a mysterious door, an entrance to a parallel world where all seems perfect. But not everything is as it seems – and everyone has buttons for eyes!  

A beautiful new musical about acceptance and finding yourself, adapted by acclaimed writer Zinnie Harris (101 Dalmatians, Regent’s Park; The Duchess (of Malfi), West End with Jodie Whittaker) and composer Louis Barabbas, in a show that reunites Director James Brining and Designer Colin Richmond following the five-star success of Oliver!. 

A Leeds Playhouse, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, Birmingham Rep and HOME production. Coraline – A Musical was developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.

A brand new musical, adapted from the novel by Neil Gaiman.
