Further info
Following its smash hit tour of the United States, a hugely successful West End season at London's Palace Theatre, and, of course, the original 2001 UK tour which smashed box-office records across the country, Bill Kenwright's critically acclaimed production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman's Whistle Down the Wind is set to thrill audiences once again.
An extraordinary and uplifting tale about the transforming power of love, Whistle Down the Wind is based on the beloved sixties film starring Hayley Mills, and features numerous multi-award-winning songs, including Boyzone's international hit No Matter What (which topped the UK charts for 6 weeks).
In a twist of fate the bright-eyed and youthful Swallow discovers a mysterious man hiding in her family's barn. When she asks for his identity the first words he utters are 'Jesus Christ'...and it's as though her prayers have been answered. While the rest of the townspeople are searching for a fugitive escaped from jail, Swallow gathers the town's children who make a pact to protect their new found saviour from the cruelties of the outside world.
Truly inspiring, Whistle Down the Wind shows how powerful love can be when the innocence of childhood collides with the cynicism of the adult world. In a stunning combination of multi-award-winning songs, powerful all new staging and epic storytelling, Whistle Down the Wind is a record breaking theatrical sensation that is both mesmerizing and moving.
