Coram Boy
Why see Coram Boy?
A tale of two orphans at the Coram Hospital for Deserted Children: Toby, saved from an African slave ship and Aaron, the abandoned son of the heir to a great estate.
A tale of fathers and sons, set in the dark heart of 18th-century England. An epic adventure filled with danger and excitement. ‘A rich and almost gothic drama unfolds, full of dastardly villains, cold-hearted aristocrats, devoted friends and passionate lovers, and set against a background of cruelty, music and murder.’
Philip Pullman

Lots of fun, very upbeat and entertaining
I went to this show with my sisters, my husband, and our teen
aged kids last night, and we all really enjoyed it. The set is
incredible, the songs are fun, and the acting is great. Lots of
fun references to music, and I really liked the Bruce
Springsteen number. It picked up the tempo of the show after
a little quieter part, and the audience loved it. Of course, I had

would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun night out.
Probably not for really little kids, because of some strong
language. ... Read more

Having seen the film based on the Nick Hornby novel I was looking forward to this production. I really enjoyed the show which was upbeat and funny. The humour was spot on and the cast strong throughout. I especially enjoyed the section with the rewind and replay's when Ian enters the store.

I would recommend the show for a great night out in New York. Be aware that if you are taking the kids there are several times when strong language is used
