Tinge Krishnan’s thrilling fluorescent musical, based on the stage production of the same name, lights up London in a dizzying spectacle of uplifting tunes and romantic puff. Michaela Coel and Arinzé Kene excel as lovers Simone and Raymond, with Coel in particular producing a scintillating performance. Giving a heavy steer away from the twee conventions of the genre, Krishnan manages to sublimely marry capital city grit with magical warmth, this is our kind of musical. This special screening is part of Birds’ Eye View’s Reclaim The Frame project features a Q&A with director Tinge Krishnan, producer Nadine Marsh-Edwards, musical director Arthur Darvill, writer Che Walker and actor George MacKay.
