THE MUSICAL

Longitude is a brand new full length 2 act musical, created by Kaz Moloney and a team of talented creatives.

It’s fairly well developed by this stage. There have been 4 table readings, 4 workshops and a concert version at the Arcola Theatre. Private financing (personal investment, crowdfunding and 2 corporate sponsors) have got it this far. The show also had a three week premiere run in June 2024 at Upstairs at the Gatehouse.

Longitude deals with perennial issues. Because this piece was always envisioned as something that might become a classic, it is timeless and centres on the themes of being an outsider, succeeding at all odds, coping with obsession, suffering betrayal and knowing the love of family will win through. Its appeal is international; everyone needs to get somewhere. And the story of technology enhancing or damaging human progress is with us today. Think of AI. Once the genie is out of the bottle…?

Longitude invites you to enter another world. With very little money, just passion and vision, we have created a show that explains a complex scientific problem very simply. Using sound and light, video projection, sensory immersion, no props, minimal set and the audience’s imagination, the viewer is engaged in another world where the music swells along with the waves and dreams are broken as clocks are smashed.
