FLYBY tickets

Be blown out of this world and into the emotional tailspin that is FlyBy, a brilliant new musical about the power of love despite distance and the motivations of escapism. Book FlyBy tickets on London Theatre.

FlyBy is a musical written and composed by Theo Jamieson, and directed and co-created by Adam Lenson. The show follows Daniel Defoe, an intelligent but troubled young man who steals a spaceship and vanishes into the depths of outer space. He leaves behind Emily Baker, a fierce, talented documentary filmmaker whose life has been filled with difficult yet magnetic relationships. The musical shifts seamlessly between past and present, using flashbacks, space logs, and fragments of memory to give a clear picture of what exactly pushed Daniel to leave and the damage that tore their connection apart.

The world premiere of FlyBy in London stars Stuart Thompson as Daniel and Poppy Gilbert as Emily, with Rupert Young, Gina Beck, and Simbi Akande coming together to complete the cast. Alongside the company is a formidable creative team, including set designer Libby Todd, lighting designer Ben Jacobs, sound designer Kelsh Buckman-Drage, costume designer Eleanor Bull, and musical director Ben Kubiak.

FlyBy is a deeply ambitious musical, filled with rich melodies and masterful performances, that will leave audiences feeling its effects for days. The production is incredibly moving and aims to impact viewers on a level deeper than a straightforward romance story. It is filled with complexities and humanity.

FlyBy asks its audience whether or not distance can truly free you from the gravity of another person’s emotional energy, even when you’re in a time and place where gravity does not exist.
