The unlikeliest hit film, Fisherman s Friends, has set a course for the West End, and is getting ready to sail into the sometimes choppy seas of musical theatre.
It is based on the true story of the shanty singing fishermen, from the Cornish village of Port Isaac, who found fame after being snapped up by Universal Music. Their debut album was a Top Ten hit.
Ian Brown, who signed the a capella group and now manages them, said Fisherman s Friends: The Musical is an extension of the magic of sea shanties .
His words are shored up by the success of Nathan Evans, the 26-year-old postman from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, whose TikTok videos of centuries old seafaring songs attracted millions of views and a record contract.
