Stage: What I Go To School For

Busted musical world premiere

After their smash hit Olivier Award nominated musical Loserville, Busted’s James Bourne and award winning writer Elliot Davis team up with critically acclaimed Youth Music Theatre UK for a third time to present electrifying new show What I Go To School For – the Busted musical!

Featuring some of Busted’s biggest hits including Air Hostess, Crashed the Wedding and Year 3000 plus a host of brand new songs, What I Go To School For follows a group of teenagers living in a world that just doesn’t understand them. Desperate to escape their humdrum hometown, they soon discover the need to break the rules to find out who they really are.
