about lift
The musical Lift by Craig Adams is about love, life, and loss, seen through the thoughts of a busker during a 54-second elevator ride ascending to the surface in the London Underground network. The station in question is Covent Garden Underground Station, one of the few Underground stations in London where passengers leave the station by elevator rather than escalator.
The busker projects her life and struggles on seven strangers during her daily elevator ride. She imagines their stories, revolving around unrequited love, secret relationships, and hidden identities, in order to work through her own dilemmas and struggles.
LIFT portrays the transition between the Busker's thoughts and what is actually happening clearly and effectively. In many ways, the Busker functions as the director of the piece and she will guide you through it. From within the elevator, she takes us into her imagination and guides the characters inside it.
Follow the Buskers emotional journey through her recent breakup and recently developed feelings for a new person, by imaginations, strangers that become familiar faces and that all in just One minute in a LIFT!

RENT (Utrecht, february 2025)
"Vocally, the quality was very strong! The band was also top-notch! And performing a show in English is always a risky choice with Dutch accents 😉. But it was very easy to follow, so it was clearly something you paid attention to. Very nice!"
"We came all the way from Antwerp to see you perform. We were told you were just a group of friends who threw together a musical, without budget, prior experience, a director, etc. Truly impressive!!! ‘Over the Moon’ was extraordinarily hilarious; beautiful in its simplicity."
"I thought it was AMAZING — I laughed hard and cried hard. I found out about the show via a theatre website, so I didn’t know anyone in the cast, but you were absolutely amazing and I hope you’ll do more musicals I can come see! The casting was really well done."
"Your level was honestly so good. We were only expecting to see an amateur production. What a stroke of luck for us! The musical itself is beautiful, but with your joy and vocal talent, you really brought the show to life. (And thank goodness you performed it in English!)"
