5. Starter for Ten
After last year’s record-breaking run, Starter for Ten is back at the Bristol Old Vic (September 10 to October 11). This Bristol-based, coming-of-age comedy musical is all about love, class and the legendary British quiz show ‘University Challenge’. Set in the 1980s, the new musical features an original soundtrack inspired by the riotous student scene of the era – composed by queer, pop-punk composers Tom Rasmussen and Hatty Carman.
