New British musical Kin is set to have a staged concert run at Theatro Technis in November 2023
New British musical Kin will have a staged concert run at London’s Theatro Technis from 1-4 November 2023 (press night is 2 November).
When a controversial cult leader buys an old ranch in a small town in southern America, tensions with the local townsfolk reach boiling point! As the conflict escalates, the shocking depths of their clash are exposed, with a startling revelation: Noah, the mayor’s son, has found himself entangled in the cult’s grip.
Inspired by true events that took place in 1980s America and featuring an original 1980s pop-inspired score, the musical written by Emil Dale and Stefan Kelk will be performed in a staged concert form in the King’s Cross-based converted church in London featuring design by Justin Williams and casting by Claire Cassidy for Debbie O’Brien Casting.
Joseph Peacock, who is currently appearing in the UK tour of Titanic the Musical, will lead the production in the role of Noah. Peacock trained at Dale’s Emil Dale Academy and his credits include originating the role of Donny Osmond in the musical The Osmonds, playing the role of Young Gideon on the US tour in Sting’s musical The Last Ship and understudying and playing the role of Tink in the West End production of the musical Bat Out of Hell.
Emil Dale said: “We just cannot wait for audiences to step into the extraordinary world of Kin! The creative team will be fine-tuning the production during its run and we invite you to become an integral part of its evolution through feedback. We hope the way people engage with the material will inform the future life and hopefully even the future home of this brand-new British musical!”
The concept album for Kin is available on all streaming platforms. Tickets for the production are now available for priority members with general sale on 31 July at 10am. Kin is produced by Emil Dale on behalf of Factory Playhouse Productions Ltd.

There’s nothing better than watching something brand new and feeling excited because you know that you are bearing witnessing to something very special. And that’s exactly what KIN The Musical instilled within me.
Last week in a packed-out disused factory in Hitchin, KIN was staged in full for the first time. It’s previously had sold-out concert productions at The Other Palace, and has amassed over 1 million views on Tik Tok. But this was the first time it had been seen in all its fully staged glory...
Noah, a skilled rock climber, is broken & physically scarred after a tragic accident but Ashville, the small southern American town he lives in, has other problems!
The Kinship, a controversial community attracting people from all over the world, has purchased an old ranch in the little town, causing unthinkable conflict with the townsfolk.
Misfit Noah, the mayor’s son, desperate to prove himself to his father, is forced to take matters into his own hands and save the town from disaster. Noah climbs down the side of the cliff, the only entrance and secretly joins the community.
What Noah doesn’t know, is that Cora, a Kinsperson, is going to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And what neither of them know, is that they are going to change each other’s lives forever.
