Calling all StageSiders, welcome back to another review here at StageSideUK. This time around we are talking about the brand new Album for Hatched – A New Audio Musical. Settle in, and get ready to make some noise, as the review for Hatched is about to begin!
Hatched – A New Audio Musical, is a purely auditory experience. You can access the musical experience via Spotify, as well as many other streaming platforms. This all new girlpower musical was written by Lydia Shaw and Edward Court, and has been released for free across streaming services. The musical is all about empowerment, breaking down barriers, overcoming obstacles and smashing stereotypes.
Hatched delivers colour, energy and radiance in abundance. This audio musical is a celebration of acceptance, inclusion, and unshakeable strength, wrapped up in an upbeat and infectious soundtrack that has been welcomed by TikTok with open arms.
The brilliance of Hatched lies in its ability to convey both energy and emotion through pure audio, creating a world so vivid that you really can see it if you jsut close your eyes. The songs are cleverly crafted, each one serving not just as a catchy tune but as a narrative vehicle, pushing the story forward while also exploring deeper themes of self-discovery, personal challenges and resilience. Each song is a mini fable, feeding into the greater narative and doing so seamlessly.
It’s a piece of work that feels especially important for today’s audiences. The message of embracing who you are, celebrating diversity, and drawing strength from vulnerability is one that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops. And shout it does—through a great mix of melodies and heartfelt lyrics that never feel preachy but instead encourage listeners to dance along to the beat of their own drum.
This audio musical really does take to new heights. The performances across the board are stellar. Vocals are polished, emotive, and engaging, with each character feeling distinct and compelling. There’s a charm to how Hatched balances moments of playful energy with more reflective, poignant beats. It’s a journey that leaves you feeling both uplifted and inspired.
A huge shout out to the cast and creatives involved! Really well done!
I also have to give a huge credit to the writers for creating an audio play that really does feel like its being acted out in front of you. Particularly for those of us with active imaginations, this musical excels at painting its world with nothing but sound and imagination, and is proof that, with the right creative spark, the absence of visuals is not a limitation.
Hatched is more than just a musical; it’s an empowering experience. Whether you’re listening for the joyous tunes or the important messages at its core, there’s something here for everyone. A must-listen for fans of innovative storytelling.
