“Outside”, a new track with music and lyrics by Gary Clark has been released ahead of the UK premiere of Sing Street at the Lyric Hammersmith. Outside is performed by Adam Hunter who will make his musical theatre debut in the role of Brendan in this stage adaptation, he featured on the original soundtrack for the film, Sing Street and was the vocalist on the OST version of “To Find You”.
Tony Award-winners Enda Walsh (Once) and Rebecca Taichman (Indecent), with music from Gary Clark (Danny Wilson), bring John Carney’s (Begin Again, Once) beloved coming-of-age 2016 film to the UK stage for the first time from 8 July-23 August 2025 following sell-out runs in Boston and New York.
Adam Hunter said: “Sing Street has followed me throughout my career, now, to be making my live theatre debut with this beautiful stage adaptation, featuring an incredible set of songs from the movie with brand-new music for the stage, is a dream. Talking of new music, it has been great to work with Gary and John on premiering this brand-new track for the UK premiere. It’s truly a beautiful song to perform and I can’t wait to sing it in front of a live audience when we open at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre this July.”
Gary Clark added: “After sold out runs in New York and Boston, we are so thrilled to finally show the Sing Street Musical to UK audiences this summer at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. “As well as all of the fan favourites from the film, John Carney and myself have written some brand new songs to showcase our completely new and incredibly talented cast. As an introduction to both, we are releasing a video for “Outside” performed by Adam Hunter, who plays Connor’s older brother Brendan in the show. Sung alone in his room, it’s a musical window into Brendan’s fear of the world outside.”
The Sing Street creative team will include choreography by Sonya Tayah, set and costume design by Bob Crowley, video design by Luke Halls, music supervision by Depeche Mode’s Peter Gordeno, costume design by Lisa Zinni and voice and dialect coaching by Hazel Holder.
