Award-winning musical first shown n 2013 at the Sheffield Crucible and Chichester's Minerva Theatre when it won the UK Theatre Award for Best Musical. This production ran at the Southwark Playhouse in 2025.
Described by The Guardian as a "terrifically funny musical...a triumph", it tells the uplifting story of a family holiday gone hilariously wrong — but one that ultimately brings them closer together. The official synopsis elaborates further "When teenager Nicky enters a competition to describe her perfect family and unexpectedly wins a dream holiday, she takes them back to where her parents first met. But instead of luxury, they find themselves on a disastrous camping trip that forces them to rediscover what really matters."
Gemma Whelan starred as wife and mum Yvonne, who is desperately trying to keep her family together.
