If So & So What Though? is a new musical song-cycle by Joe Partridge.

Consisting of twelve songs we follow four characters dealing with different life situations, from the concert hall catastrophes, through incidents at the office or living with challenging flatmates. If So & So What Though? culminates with the idea that we all spend so much time looking forward and back that we miss the things right in front of us, the things that often matter the most. Staring Elissa Churchill, Anya Hamilton, Will Sharma & Joe Partridge, for a premier on the 26th March 2019, Above the Arts Theatre in London.
