Rory Six MusicalEnglish Version by Charles Hart

Amanda

The Night Before Me

One night. One performer. Fourteen unforgettable lives.
The Story

A Night That Changes Everything

During her gender affirming surgery, Amanda relives her entire life in a powerful musical monologue. Hidden dreams, familiar lies, forbidden love and hard-won freedom unfold in a dazzling, witty and deeply moving musical monologue.

With razor-sharp humour, breathtaking emotion and an unforgettable score (English version by Charles Hart, author of The Phantom of the Opera), AMANDA celebrates courage, identity and the beauty of finally becoming who you were always meant to be.

Our Journey

From Vienna to London

It all began in Vienna with Theatercouch. Belgian artist Rory Six, now living in Austria, created AMANDA based on the real and deeply personal stories he shared with his trans friend Sophie Giller. Rory’s passionate belief in this show turned it into a word-of-mouth sensation in the German-speaking musical world – played by legends including Pia Douwes, Mark Seibert, Drew Sarich and Rob Pelzer.

Now Divina de Campo, the first non-binary artist to perform this English version by Charles Hart, brings the piece to London. It is our dream to share this show with the world, and at the Bridge House Theatre we are meticulously preparing for its big international journey. This is only the beginning for us. We invite you to be part of it from the very first London performances. We can’t wait to share it with you.
