The Musical
INNIT is a raw, explosive coming-of-age musical set on the streets of Salford, where a troubled teenager wrestles with crime, family chaos and the lure of easy money. When his life spirals out of control, he must confront the choices that could either destroy him, or set him free. Fuelled by gritty humour, hard-hitting drama and unforgettable songs, ‘Innit’ is a powerful story of survival, identity and hope.
Our vision is that ‘Innit: The Musical’ becomes a commercial success. We want the revenue from ticket to subsidise tickets for young people to enjoy a live performance of the show.
The Journey of ‘Innit’:
From Script to Stage Sensation!

It all kicked off when Micky gathered a handful of actors for a special script reading. What started with just 30 invites turned into a buzzing event with 150 theatre lovers showing up, proof that ‘Innit’ was something special from the start!

Riding the wave of that amazing script reading, The Lowry’s Community & Education team gave ‘Innit’ the green light to bloom into a full production. For 12 performances over two weeks, a fantastic mix of community and professional actors lit up the studio, while young people gained hands on experience and valuable life skills behind the scenes.

‘Innit’ then levelled up to a semi-professional show, captivating 2,000 young people across Greater Manchester. This milestone wasn’t just about the audience, the cast flourished too, with several landing roles in major TV dramas like Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, and Casualty!
