WhatsOnStage 2025 award-winner Melanie La Barrie (Hadestown; &Juliet) will join the cast of WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE in the role of Drew 5, alongside powerhouse Jenna Lee-James (Frozen; We Will Rock You) as Drew 6 / Featured Artist. This new contemporary musical offers a heartfelt exploration of life's shared journey and how its pivotal moments shape us all. Created by Drew Gasparini, whose credits include Smash and Broadway productions including The Karate Kid and It’s Kind of a Funny Story, this production reflects his passion for breaking the mould of traditional musical theatre and uncovering fresh talent.

Told from five unique perspectives spanning age, generation and gender, this uplifting musical explores the complex, universal and often challenging journey of pursuing a dream. Unravelling the rich emotional tapestry of life, WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE reminds us that, no matter where we come from, growing up is a series of choices and uncertain steps, punctuated by moments of discovery.
Following the concert performance of We Aren’t Kids Anymore, the second act of the night will see Gasparini in concert, presenting some of the best work from his extensive musical career. Gasparini and the cast will be joined by some special invited guests, to be announced.
