  • Produced by: Olivia Jackson

  • Written by: John Sharp and Julian Smith-Gard

This new musical sees Mars rapidly running out of power, so Martian soldiers Private Planet and Colonel Cosmic get sent on a mission to Earth to discover where humans get their power.

They are introduced to the wonders of American capitalism and Cosmic begins to question the regime back on Mars, and whether it really is the best way to live, leaving Planet questioning who he should trust.

Destination Earth is a satirical new musical inspired by the 1956 American Petroleum Institute advertisement, "Destination Earth". This lively production combines the visual panache of 1950s cartoons with a futuristic vision, creating a vibrant and immersive experience for all audiences.

    This image shows an older woman sitting in a red chair. She sits side-on. The chair and her body are facing to the left, her hands are resting on her left leg and her head is turned towards the camera. She is wearing a fluffy white sweater, matching sweatpants and white sneakers. On her head is a silver beaded headpiece that hangs like a fringe on her forehead and down to her chin on the sides. The floor is grey carpet and the wall behind her is entirely white pleated curtains.
