NR'S Jessica Dyas and Steve Simmonds feature in this new musical

Over its illustrious 150-year history Everton Football Club has had many heroes but perhaps none of them have been absorbed into the wider public consciousness as much as Speedo Mick. A die-hard Blues supporter, supported himself by thousands across the country and around the world. 

He ran marathons until his knees gave out, he swam the channel until his shoulder packed in. And after that? Well, he had the trunks and he fancied a walk… 

John Fay (The Cruel Sea, Brookside, Torchwood) has written a story about one man’s rise from the depths to becoming a real-life Liverpool Superhero. Packed with original songs from Boff Whalley (Chumbawumba) you’ll be singing all night long.

This musical world premierecelebrates one of the biggest characters to come out of this city. From being that homeless guy in the shop doorway, they said wouldn’t amount to anything to raising more than £1,000,000 for disadvantaged young people and the homeless.
