God is a DJ

"God Is a DJ began with an idea that would not leave my mind. What happens when the pulse of the club meets the soul of the theatre. A live DJ playing alongside a live orchestra.

When millions gather in clubs and festivals, they are searching for connection and that electrifying feeling of unity. I wanted to bring that energy into the theatre and fuse it with the depth and emotional power of great storytelling.

My vision is to open the doors of the theatre to a new generation while honoring the tradition and heart of true theatre lovers.

God Is a DJ is a bridge between worlds, where beats meet orchestration and connection becomes the loudest sound in the room. And yes, expect a few surprises."

"How could I resist the opportunity to join Vicky and Matthew, two such inspiring creative forces, in making a piece of work which truly challenges the boundaries of conventional playmaking. I’ve always loved collaborating with live musicians, but we’re exploding those boundaries to see what happens when you mix intimate storytelling with heart-stopping immersive sound. I can’t wait!"

"Having fallen deeply in love with clubbing and dance music at the Haçienda and the Paradise Factory in the Manchester of the 90’s, the opportunity to bring that experience to the stage in a musical which celebrates our eternal search to belong and to exist as one, even for a moment, feels very special. Nothing can ever replace the feeling as we all raise our arms in the air, forgetting the world outside and are taken to a different place by the skill of the DJ and the music.

Fusing that with theatre alongside such great collaborators, where we can also explore the dark heart which lurks within that world, is a real adventure."

"Electronic Dance Music has been one of the leading musical genres of the 21st century. The challenge of bringing this amazing cultural musical language to a theatrical setting is thrilling. EDM is both heartfelt, euphoric and everything in-between, which is what I believe the best theatre is too. God Is A DJ promises to be a musical and emotional rollercoaster. It’s a huge challenge but a very exciting challenge."

"Sometimes music is the only thing that can make sense of how we feel - it is its own church - and for some it’s the only place to go to be understood and fling our arms to the heavens to invite something, anything, to help us understand. It is a joy to be a part of this story. It is a show that’ll be unlike any other and will surprise those who think they know what a musical that holds hands with dance music will be."
