Take part in exciting creative workshops delivered by professionals and showcase your skills alongside West End stars in a new music video inspired by a song from GUY, the new musical from leo&hyde.
GUY (@guythemusical) is a new LGBTQIA+ electronic musical about a guy that doesn’t fit in and pretends to be someone else online; however he soon realises that being yourself is the only way to be happy and find love.
