Breaking Baz: BBC And Broadway Eyeing Award-Winning West End Musical ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’
The West End musical Standing At The Sky’s Edge is headed for a TV adaptation from the BBC and a likely Broadway transfer.
The pandemic halted its momentum, however producer Various Productions contracted a deal with the National Theatre for it to move into the NT’s Olivier auditorium — a building perfectly suited for a story set in Park Hill, a brutalist apartment block built in the early 1960s to accommodate families who’d previously been confined to the region’s slum dwellings. By the way, Harper-Jackson was the understudy who, rather heroically, took over when Taron Egerton withdrew for personal reasons from the West End revival of Mike Bartlett’s play Cock, joining Bridgerton ’s Jonathan Bailey, Jade Anouka and Phil Daniels in the limited run two years ago. They included “the Sarah Snook show” — that’s Wankel referring to the Succession’ star’s acclaimed multiple performances in the Michael Cassel, Adam Kenwright and Sydney Theatre Company production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, adapted and directed by Kip Williams.
