Facing East in Concert is an exciting new musical that is centred on the American playwright Carol Lynn Pearson’s inspiring play, Facing East.
The play follows the story of an upstanding American Mormon couple’s attempt to deal with the suicide of their gay son. When the grieving couple unexpectedly meet their son’s gay partner, Marcus, they find themselves stuck between their faith and reality.

The play enjoyed sell-out performances in 206 and 2007 in Salt Lake City.
Now, for one-night only, Facing East in Concert is making its UK premiere, showing at the Lyric Theatre for one night only.
This new musical is by David Rigano and Mark-Eugene Garcia. It is produced Nathan Gardner and Stephen McGill in association with Deborah Brannigan, Danny Brooke, Sean Bryan and Joel Marvin.
