Nele Needs A Holiday: The Musical
A Belgian popstar moves to London to steal the jobs of British popstars. Luckily, austerity is there to stop her. Nele Needs a Holiday: The Musical is a tongue-in-cheek pop opera about a girl called Nele who turns her life into a big international mess because she wants to be famous on the other side of the English Channel. It's a rags-to-more-rags story showing the magnificent grandeur of unrelenting failure in love, life, and a so-called career.
Nele Needs a Holiday is a dramatic songwriter based in Brussels and London – for as long as it lasts. After releasing two albums, she decided to write a musical theatre show about the unfortunate encounters she had with her own ambition. Expect theatrical show tunes and profound torch songs with an overriding eyebrow raised at the absurdity of life, brought by an all-female band meticulously trained to sing with their tongues in their cheeks.
