The Clockmaker’s Daughter

15th May 2025

Feel an instant connection!

Have you ever heard a song from a musical that captivated you so completely, you had to explore the entire show—only to find yourself utterly obsessed? That was precisely the experience of the creative team at Manchester Musical Youth (MMY) when Musical Director, Kimberly Holden, first discovered The Clockmaker’s Daughter, the poignant and uplifting musical by Michael Webborn and Daniel Finn.

“When I first worked on A Story of My Own with my singing students, I felt an instant connection to the song,” says Kimberly. “The melody and harmonies are simply breathtaking, filling you with joy.”

MMY is thrilled to have been granted the first-ever youth license for this remarkable production through Keddie Scott Associates.

“We are constantly looking for ways to challenge our talented young performers and this beautifully tricky score, staged in the intimate traverse setting, is proving to be an exciting project,” says Dave, the Director.

With a talented 32-strong cast, MMY is working diligently to perfect the show’s intricate harmonies and dynamic Irish-style choreography, crafted by company choreographers Sarah Binns and Bartlett. The Clockmaker’s Daughter, playing The Renaker Theatre at z-arts, Manchester, promises to be a truly unforgettable production.
