FA Cup Final Musical Opens Friday - Ipswich Town News

Friday sees the New Wolsey Theatre stage the opening night of Our Blue Heaven, the specially-written musical celebrating Sunday’s 40th anniversary of Town’s 1978 FA Cup final triumph.

The New Wolsey’s artistic director Peter Rowe has woven fans’ stories and memories into his script, while there is a live soundtrack of chart hits from ’78.

With a hasty wedding, a first birth and missing tickets to contend with, will our mad-keen Ipswich fans make it to the final?

Can the Town navigate the frozen pitch at Bristol Rovers, the rioting Millwall supporters at the Den, dodgy refereeing at Highbury and make it all the way to Wembley?

More details can be found on the New Wolsey's website here, while tickets for Our Blue Heaven, which runs until Saturday 26th May, can be bought here.
