The Debutantes

Book and Lyrics by Sam Norman, Music by Eliza Randall

It’s 1940 and Britain is about to lose the war. In desperation, the authorities make a top-secret decision. The Debutantes tracks the meteoric rise and quiet erasure of the forgotten female codebreakers of Bletchley Park.

The Debutantes is currently the flagship project in development with the relaunched Manhattan Musical Theatre Lab. It has previously received development with institutions including the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project, Leeds Conservatoire and Manhattan School of Music. “A Letter at a Time” was a finalist for the Stiles and Drewe Best New Song Prize.
