NOW HIRING JOY
A brand-new British musical about monsters, metrics, and making bad decisions for all the right reasons

Now Hiring Joy is a show for anyone who has ever faced career burnout and anxiety

James Joy has everything his career promised — the salary, the status, the corporate skyscraper to build. But when a near-death encounter drags him into an amateur theatre group, he discovers that life isn’t about promotions or PowerPoints — it’s about singing out loud, messing up, and finding joy in the moment.

Blending satirical wit with heartfelt music, Now Hiring Joy speaks to anyone who’s ever felt trapped in the grind, asking: what if happiness isn’t a promotion away, but already here waiting for us?

This is a musical for our times — hilarious, uplifting, and ultimately about the courage to step off the treadmill and start living.

Help the creative team bring Now Hiring Joy to life and prove there’s an audience hungry for new, homegrown musicals. By attending you’ll be supporting the creative team to demonstrate demand for this work and the Arts Council as they seek to apply for further funding.
