Unexpected Joy

The York Theatre Company

The York Theatre Company's world premiere musical centers around three generations of female singers, long-held family tensions, and a week together where change is in the air.

Featuring musical stylings from classic “I Want” numbers to punk rock ballads, Unexpected Joy oscillates between classical musical theatre repertoire on discrete lavalier mics and grungier tunes on handheld microphones.

"Julian Evans' sound design is clear and never intrusive." - David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America

"Rose not only stands out on her own but sounds amazing blending in on “Before You Arrive” and “What a Woman Can Do”" - Suzanna Bowling, T2COnline
