Those Days:
An Unproduced Rock Musical
Those Days
An Unproduced Rock Musical
What if you could go home again… but it’s not the home you remember?
An original unproduced rock musical concept, with characters and scenes inspired by early 2000s nostalgia and themes of love, loss, and coming home
Set in a small, working-class town between 2000 and 2010, Those Days is a raw, emotional, and electrifying new rock musical that follows four estranged friends who reunite for their 10-year high school reunion — and the funeral of one of their own.
Fueled by iconic hits, the show blends nostalgic swagger with aching vulnerability as Jack, Emma, Ryan, and Sophie confront the ghosts of their youth: broken dreams, lost love, buried secrets, and the haunting memory of their bandmate, Nate. As old wounds reopen and sparks fly, they’ll have to decide if they can rewrite the endings they once believed were final.
From beer-soaked backyard parties to heart-shattering confessions under the stars, Those Days captures the thrill of reckless youth and the bittersweet beauty of growing up. With songs like “Photograph,” “Savin’ Me,” “Rockstar,” “If Today Was Your Last Day,” and “Don’t Let It End,” this is not just an unproduced jukebox musical — it’s a soul punch of memory, music, and redemption.
If you’ve ever looked at an old photo and whispered, “I miss those days”… this show is for you.
