Approaching the fourth anniversary of the WHO’s Coronavirus pandemic declaration, BBC World Service presents U.Me: The Complete Musical. It tells the story of Rose and Ryo, two young strangers who meet online and fall in love during the pandemic lockdowns. This is a remixed version of a programme previously broadcast. Part two next week continues the story with all-new music and songs. Stephen Fry narrates the story, the West End’s Olivier-award nominee Anoushka Lucas performs Rose, and Martin Sarreal plays Ryo. The original soundtrack is performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. An animated film of U.Me: The Complete Musical is available on the BBC World Service YouTube channel. Show less
