Musik, the Pet Shop Boys’ new solo musical, began performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe August 5.
The show has a book by Jonathan Harvey and music by Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. Frances Barber stars as Billie Trix, a delusional drug-addled rock star, reprising her role from Closer to Heaven—Harvey, Tennant, and Lowe’s first collaboration.
