Emil started writing the book.
"A new British musical, written by a British Arab writer that feels completely familiar yet totally different! The music, the book, I’m obsessed!"
- Feedback from peer review.
Kin is the new British musical with an original story created by a new creative team, inspired by real life events, that occurred in a small town in 80’s America.
When a controversial cult leader moves into an old ranch in a small town, tensions with the locals reaches 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 within the cult's grip.
Inspired by real life events that took place in 80’s America. Featuring an original new wave, 80s-pop-inspired score.
We’re looking for Theatres and Co-producers. Additionally, we have investment opportunities so email us if you’d like to know more details info@kinthemusical.com

“Someone told me I couldn’t… is the simple answer! So here I am.”

How do you carry grief? Or is it better left buried? Never a bigger or more relevant question after a global pandemic.
Do you think we will ever NOT need to tell stories that remind humans to accept people for who they are regardless of all their beautiful differences?
In KIN The Musical, our protagonist Noah learns the power of letting go of the past,grief, trauma and the lies he tells himself. Isn’t that really the only way to be able to truly move forward and live the full life you deserve?
Give up the ghost. Give up hate people made you feel. The most human lesson of them all.

Firstly, think ‘Stranger Things’, then think about a hooky original musical score that fuses 80’s Synth, New Wave Pop, Rock and Contemporary Musical Theatre. It feels totally familiar, but at the same time completely fresh and new!
Think... ‘BLOOD BROTHERS’ meets ‘HADESTOWN’ meets ‘CARRIE’
Think Goonies. ET. Torches. BMX bikes. Handheld radios. A huge rock-face that actors can climb, making up the wings, cyc and even the pros.
Imagine an epic Steven Spielberg film as a musical, set in the 80’s, inspired by real life events, with a completely original story, yet everything will feel as new, truthful, real and beautifully put together as a perfectly formed NETFLIX documentary, in style and currency.
