#Offies #NewNoms 2024 for “Romeo & Juliet” from Beats and Elements Beats & Elements at Polka Theatre Polka Theatre: TYA WRITING Conrad Murray Conrad_Murray & Lakeisha Lynch Stevens Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, co-created with Kate Donnachie Kate Donnachie & Khai Shaw… dlvr.it/T4LFlP

What a brilliant adaptation this is! Keeps all the essence of the original but reinvents it for a modern young audience. A really well-deserved nomination! 🎉

Thank you OffWestEnd / Offies / OffComm / OnFest / OneOff !! We are buzzing! It’s been such a joy to make a Beats & Elements show for young audiences! Especially with Polka Theatre

The hardest working team, with an insane amount of talent. They have worked some serious magic on a show that opens up Shakespeare to be accessible for all ages…with the best soundtrack. So proud of Conrad, Lakeisha, Khai, Kate, Simon, Erin, Jonathan, Lisa and the whole team ❤️

Best production nomination OffWestEnd / Offies / OffComm / OnFest / OneOff WHAT?! Massive shout out to Polka Theatre Beats & Elements Conrad_Murray Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens KhaiKain and the whole creative team. So happy we get to share this show with Merton and beyond ❤️❤️❤️

🥳 highly recommend everyone in theatre to cast, collaborate with or watch Kate Donnachie in a show, if you haven’t been so lucky already! So well deserved !! 💛

I have created something special with Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens Kate Donnachie KhaiKain at the Polka Theatre .

It is pretty slick and has some killer tunes! Come book your tickets as it is selling out , and i don’t want people to miss out .

If you have liked the work I have created in…

I cannot express how much of a masterpiece this is. SO slick with phenomenal performances. A stunning vocal tapestry of modern London 🖤

Had the privilege of taking 90 kids (most never been to the theatre) and they were BOUNCING from their seats with excitement #TeamCap

Incredible show! 💜

Had the privilege of taking some of our senior staff to check out the inspiring new Polka Theatre space in Merton and this sensational new musical adaptation of R+J for a young audience, who were mesmerised throughout (as were we!).
