MUSIK starring Frances Barbour comes to Northampton cinemas this April
It’s one of the most acclaimed theatre events in recent years
MUSIK, the critically acclaimed one-woman show starring Frances Barber, written by Jonathan Havey and with songs by Pet Shop Boys, comes to cinemas across the UK on 9th and 12th April.
The film offers a rare chance to experience an unforgettable live solo performance in full, with immersive sound, striking close-ups and the comfort of locals cinema, placing audiences front and centre.
Northampton audiences can see MUSIK at Northampton Filmhouse and Odeon Northampton.
The cinema release features a live recording from MUSIK’s 2025 run at Wilton’s Music Hall in London, as week as further scenes filmed especially for a cinema audience.
At the heart of MUSIK is a towering one-woman performance by Frances Barber, returning to the iconic character Billie Trix, first created in the 2001 West End musical Closer to Heaven.
Billie Trix is a radical, existentialist and preposterous icon in this bold and hilarious one-woman odyssey through the 20th and 21st centuries.
From post-war Berlin to the New York art scene, from folk duos to disco comebacks, Billie Trix has done it all — often naked, usually high, and always on her own terms. Drawing on her warped memories, lost loves, and chaotic career, Billie delivers a savage, surreal monologue that collides memoir, stand-up, and cabaret.
Following sold-out stage performances and overwhelming critical acclaim since its premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 2019, MUSIK has been hailed as a cult classic in the making.
