ATLANTIC: A SCOTTISH STORY was commissioned as part of an international collaboration between The American Musical Theatre Project at Northwestern University and The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. ATLANTIC: A SCOTTISH STORY was developed with students from The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Northwestern University in Chicago before it’s premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017.
The show was a critical success with a sell-out run at the festival, and resulted in Noisemaker being awarded a coveted Herald Angel Award. The award recognised, not just the show itself, but our commitment to expanding the Edinburgh Festival as a platform for new musical theatre; both in Scotland and internationally.
Since its initial run ATLANTIC was developed into an award-winning audio series, which you can learn more about on our podcast page for the show. The stage version of ATLANTIC has also continued to grow and most recently had a developmental production at The Irish Repertory Theater in NYC featuring Max Chernin (Parade), Latoya Edwards (White Girl in Danger) and Kirsty Findlay (ATLANTIC Podcast Series).
ATLANTIC: A SCOTTISH STORY is currently a one act musical running at 70 minutes. The Fringe production featured a cast of 16 but the show can play with a core cast of 9, depending on the scale of production. It is currently scored for a live band of piano, guitar, percussion, fiddle and double bass.
