Backyard Theatre is proud to present the New Zealand premiere of Ordinary Days, a poignant musical celebrating the messy reality of human relationships.

Harried graduate student Deb is tracking down her lost thesis notes, while Warren, an oddball wannabe artist, just wants someone to notice him. Meanwhile, Claire is having second thoughts about her boyfriend Jason moving in with her, a year into their relationship.

With only four voices and a piano, Adam Gwon's memorable score and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking lyrics redefine musical theatre from the traditional flash of a full band and chorus into an intimate theatre experience.

Fresh from an artistic internship with New York City's Signature Theatre, Wellington director Cassandra Tse (The Showgirl, Right Dishonourable) reunites with her Battle Hymn musical director Michael Stebbings (Legally Blonde, Taking the Millennium) in an exploration of the joy and pain of living a little life in a big city.
