About the Show

A new comedy musical from the creators of 'Urinetown'.

Yeast Nation' shows that no matter your size, you have to dream big.

With food growing scarce, The Yeasts are forced to stick to The Strictures to keep resources from running out. But when one Yeast decides to break the rules, a new emotion changes everything. This is part Greek drama, part bio-historical comedy musical and part bizarre fever dream.

Benji Sperring ('The Toxic Avenger: The Musical', 'Night of the Living Dead: Live') directs.

Don't see it if You have a shred of common sense... It's quite possibly the worst show I have seen ... Ever

Insipid, Confusing

See it if Something off kilter amateurish and different

See it if You’re into musical theatre, that’s new to the UK. Very good show from writers of Urinetown. Great performances from established and new

Don't see it if You’re not into musicals, or the unusual.

"If this is an attempt at absurdist theatre, it comes off as a leftfield school concert gone awry. ... It all feels like protracted self-indulgence. Best put back in the petri dish and left in an eternity of splendid fungal isolation."

"It’s a pity, as with the right focus, this could have been a genuinely amusing show. But in its current state, it requires further evolution."

"A contender for the weirdest show of the year, this isn't a bad show by any means but more could be done to make all the elements fit together consistently. Sadly not a triumph but still a fun night out in itself."

"This is a show that is getting a real Marmite level of love or hate reaction. There is certainly no question that it is honestly the most ludicrous premise for a musical, quite possibly ever!"
