Billericay Operatic Society presents

Our House – The Madness Musical

A London Love Story

Revolving around the music of the legendary ska band, Madness, Our House is a very British musical.
Set in Camden Town, this hilarious and heart-warming musical tells the story of London lad Joe Casey, who, on the night of his sixteenth birthday, takes Sarah – the girl of his dreams – out on their first date. In an effort to impress her with his bravado, Joe breaks into a building site overlooking his home on Casey Street to show Sarah the view over north London. When the police arrive, Joes faces an agonising decision – run, or stay and face the consequences. Joe’s life splits in two and we witness the fortunes, and misfortunes of Good Joe and Bad Joe. Two parallel stories unfold and build towards an explosive climax.

Featuring all your favourite Madness hits including House of Fun, Baggy Trousers, Driving In My Car, It Must Be Love, Night Boat to Cairo and of course Our House, this toe-tapping show will have you dancing in the aisles and is a great show to share with friends.
