Connecticut's Goodspeed Musicals will stage the US premiere of No Love Songs as the third production of its 2024 season. The musical will play Goodspeed's Terris Theatre September 27-October 20.
No Love Songs was created by Kyle Falconer, lead singer of Scottish indie band The View; and Laura Wilde. The work features music by Falconer and a book by Wilde and Johnny McKnight. Andrew Panton and Tashi Gore will direct the production.
The musical follows young parents Jessie and Lana. When Jessie is called away to tour with his band in America and postpartum depression sets in for Lana, they must learn to navigate the unique challenges of their new lives.
“I am thrilled to offer No Love Songs its first stop in the United States and look forward to bringing this heartfelt new musical centered on the challenges of early motherhood to Terris audiences," Goodspeed Artistic Director Donna Lynn Hilton said in a statement. "We hope this isn’t the last collaboration with Dundee Rep, Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre, and BPM Theatrical to share universal stories that bring us all closer.”
No Love Songs is produced in special association with BPM Theatrical. The musical was originally produced and developed by Dundee Rep Theatre in Dundee, Scotland, and later played sold-out runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and in London.
As previously reported, Goodspeed's season at the Terris Theatre also includes the new musicals A Complicated Woman and Ask for the Moon!, along with familiar favorites South Pacific, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and more.
