The UK debut follows sell-out runs in Boston and New York. Sing Street is an ode to the thrill of young love and a celebration of the power of music to lift us up.
Set in Dublin in 1982, it follows a teenager called Conor whose parents are fighting, his brother won't leave the house, and he's not fitting in at his new Catholic school. When Raphina enters his world, he starts a band to impress her.
