About this show
Nearlyweds is a brand-new musical comedy that will have you laughing, crying and singing along! We follow Lily, a people-pleasing Scottish bride as she runs away from her wedding, and Jake, a confused fiancé-to-be whose life isn’t as glamorous as he thinks. Along the way they meet an array of relatably quirky and vibrant characters, who have hilarious scenarios to overcome. Will Lily learn to stand up for herself and will Jake finally stop spouting awful puns? This relatable musical comedy by Jasmine Alice has extremely lovable characters and way too many dad jokes!
