Hello, Mister Capello

Start date: 3rd September 2010 until 4th September 2010

After months of anticipation it's almost here; Hello, Mister Capello is on stage 3 & 4 September 2010.

A project that has united Watford Palace Theatre, Watford Football Club and the people of Watford, Hello, Mister Capello is the brand-new musical about to take Watford by storm.

Written by Nick Stimson (writer and football fan), directed by James Williams (director and football fan) and starring the community of Watford, Hello, Mister Capello is a celebration of the spirit of Watford, the football club and of our dreams and aspirations.

At the centre of a Watford football family is Josh Champion, eighteen years old and about to sign for Watford Football club.  It's an opportunity that his twin sister Claire would give anything for.  But is this really Josh's dream?  As his family look on expectantly, as his pen hovers over the contract, Josh makes a decision that changes everything. 

A totally unique experience celebrating the pride of Watford, the glory days of its Football Club, of people who love football and those who loathe it; featuring many well-loved songs and music especially composed for Hello, Mister Capello.
