Theatres ‘excited’ by eight Tony award nominations

The original romantic comedy show was a Made In Northampton production, co-produced with New Wolsey Theatre, written by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan and directed by Tim Jackson.

The same team worked on the New York production at the Longacre Theatre.

Buchan, who has been nominated for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score, said: “This is the proudest moment in mine and Jim’s professional lives.

“Our show has been ten years in the making, and has grown from very humble beginnings.

“We are proud to be acknowledged.”

Jackson, nominated for Best Direction of a Musical, said: “These nominations reflect the collective brilliance of so many kind, funny, big-hearted collaborators who have poured their magic and immense talent into this special show over the last eight years.

“Making this musical with Kit Buchan and Jim Barne has been a highlight of my career, and of my life.”
