A message from Nick Hutson (writer of Theme Park Fan: The Musical)

If I were to rewind back to 2018 when I wrote the comedy song “I’m a Theme Park Fan”, I wouldn’t have thought that I’d be here now, two and a half life changing years later with you about to listen to a musical based around it.  I was always asked/told/forced to do the next version of the song - but I couldn’t write another song like it… could I? Turns out, I could… so I wrote 16 more.  


From working with the amazingly talented Owen Evans and Ryan Nixon on basic song and script ideas in the spring and summer of 2020 - to working with over 20 people (including amazing director Dylan Lee and a fab cast) in the winter of 2020/21, we all truly believe that we’ve created the largest (and most immersive) community event made for and by the UK Theme Park Community.  


This has been recorded remotely - so please forgive us - we’ll all be back together soon, in Spoons, to have better times.  Until then… let Blackpool come to you and enjoy Theme Park Fan - The Musical.
