About Carlie Craig
One: The Musical is created and performed by Carlie Craig and tells the story of a woman destined to be a star who falls in love with her childhood crush from TV, only to discover they have been living a double life through their whole relationship. She responds by writing pop songs about it. The show then asks what happens when she sells out her concert about that relationship — she is forced to reconcile her reality with her newfound popstar identity. The show runs for 60 minutes at Thistle Theatre and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A pop musical built from personal experience — Carlie Craig turns heartbreak and self-discovery into a genuinely funny and moving hour of original songs and storytelling. Fresh, inventive and emotionally honest.
