PRODUCTION HISTORY: ............. Departure Lounge won the inaugural PERFECT PITCH festival of new writing in 2006. It was then picked up by three commercial producers and given two workshop peformances in the West End at the Arts Theatre in March 2007 under the title 'UNZPIPPED!' ... since then the songs 'Left Spain' and 'Brits on Tour' have been performed at the Royal Academy of Music Christmas concert and the Whatsonstage award ceremony with great critical success. A short workshop has taken place at the Royal Academy, and the producers now believe the show is commercially ready. Like any unknown new musical, it is a commercial risk, attracting word-of-mouth support is key. The Edinburgh run (which we are hoping to do a cast album for) will hopefully raise the profile of the show to an extent where it can follow the likes of Jerry Springer, Into the Hoods and Eurovision: Eurobeat back into the West End. Please help spread the word.

Hi, How are you doing? Just to let you know, I have finished recording my first album, "On The Tracks Again" and have posted some of the songs on my page. Lots of new songs and a couple of the rockers are free for download. So SET THEM FREE and add them to your playlists!
Tremendous show last week. Watching Unzipped was the most entertained I´ve been for a long time in any theatre. Love the way the story unwinds, awesome humour, great characters and music that keeps growing. Good luck for taking it to the next level.
