Head Over Heels

MUSOC Presents Head Over Heels!

20th - 27th September 2025

Head Over Heels is a jukebox musical, made up of The Go-Go’s songs, that adapts the plot of The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia, the 16th-century prose romance by Sir Philip Sidney. It resembles the Old Arcadia more closely than the New Arcadia. Unlike Jeff Whitty's original, which hewed to Sidney's story structure regarding a King outrunning four prophecies, the plotline of the musical follows the royal family of Arcadia on their journey to keep their famous "Beat".

MUSOC’s Production of Head Over Heels also saw three understudies take to the stage as their respective lead roles.
