Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It’s weird being at edfringe without twitter. I sort of miss twitter. The discourse, the debates. Not the toxicity. Anyway here are some nice reviews from my Edinburgh fringe show. Sorry. 060

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Against all odds. I made it to Edinburgh Fringe. IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY? @summerhallarts.bsky.social at 12:15pm every day! 010

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Absolutely loving this book. Although I had a small existential crisis when I realised that the original NES Mario Bros and Mario 64 were released only 11 years apart. Truly what a time to be growing up around video games. 020
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Thanks to @lyngardnertheatre.bsky.social for this lovely interview for @stagedoorldn.bsky.social stagedoor.com/theatre-guid...stagedoor.comCable Street: A Musical for Our Times | by Lyn Gardner on StagedoorLyn Gardner interviews director Adam Lenson on the return of Cable Street to London, a show that celebrates community, courage, and the city we call home. 053
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Tonight is press night of Precipice (Pressipice). @timelapsetheatre.bsky.social It's both a bold formal experiment in musical theatre writing process and a rare step into speculative fiction for musical theatre. I'm extraordinarily proud of it. 251

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 19/09/2025A huge thank you to those who have donated to my new company's crowdfunder.

We are making some really cool and unique stuff and every contribution helps. 121

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 13/06/2025London Road is still one of the most extraordinary shows ever made and the fact it’s back onstage is so special. You have just over a week to catch it @nationaltheatre.org.uk so do whatever you can to get there. 050

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Does anyone need an EdFringe Sound Designer? I have time in June/July and will be up in Edinburgh for week zero. Amongst other things I designed the sound for last year’s Fringe First winning ‘Revenge: After the Levoyah’ 1910
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I have become so obsessed with Dead Outlaw from just the seven tracks they’ve released and reading every article about it that I think I need to go to New York 260

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 02/05/2025I don’t think there’s a recent musical theatre lyric that gets me more than “Those sunny afternoons you spent with me. They’ll still be happening, just somewhere in the past” Hoping that Maybe Happy Ending gets to London so I can watch it once a week. 020
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 01/05/2025This is very cool. Thanks so much Dr Broadribb. I look back at the pandemic and remember that feeling of being forced into a new frontier. And that has informed everything I’ve done since. 141

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 15/04/2025When theatres programme fewer shows. The ones they don’t programme are inevitably the weirder, cooler, stranger, riskier ones. 0112
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Feeling bereft at the loss of Bill Finn. A true genius and a particularly good chronicler of Jewish cultural anxiety, warmth and irony. 1100

Reposted by Adam LensonMark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Every time I recommend a musical, I get a without-fail chorus of "I don't like musicals. Will I like this?" I DON'T KNOW, people. It's your blind spot, not mine. Maybe don't hold any single work of art to the standard of magically curing you of your distaste for an entire unbelievably rich genre? 951075

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 11/03/2025This has nothing to do with protecting Jewish people. Trump doesn’t care one bit about Jews and is using this as an opportunity to expand his fascistic government. 031

Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025I’ve always loved how much Jeremy Strong seems to genuinely care so much about acting and storytelling. And how unembarrassed he is to be so deeply nerdy about craft and process. This brilliant interview only makes me like him more. 150
Adam Lenson @adamlenson.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I just saw Ballet Shoes and it was absolutely incredible. As close to a perfect family show as I can imagine. It made me glad to be an artist and I’m sure will turn many of its younger audience members towards following their dreams. If you need a good laugh and a good cry, go! 1110
