Not every story needs to be turned into a musical, but Matthew Warchus’s 2014 film Pride seemed to be crying out for it. Based on the true story of a London gay and lesbian group that raised money for the south Wales village of Dulais during the 1984 Miners’ Strike, it’s been lovingly transposed to the stage by Warchus, with a book and lyrics by original writer Stephen Beresford and music by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen and DJ Walde. The result is hugely charming and affecting, if imperfect.
