Closer to Heaven by Jonathan Harvey with music and lyrics by Pet Shop Boys directed by Steven Dexter Main House, 2 hours 10 minutes including a 20 minute interval A thrilling musical with original songs by Pet Shop Boys, set against the backdrop of Sohos pulsing nightlife Dave is a young dancer from Ireland, new in London and ambitious to make his name. When he takes a job bartending in a Soho nightclub, hes surprised to find himself at the heart of a new and very unconventional family. But as drink and drugs begin to take over his life, his future as a dancer begins to disappear into the haze. Can he drag himself back from the edge and truly shine? Both comic and tragic, Closer To Heaven is a bittersweet ode to London nightlife, broken dreams and dark desires.
