Venue: Collective Arts Theatre

New Money is a fresh and exciting original musical that follows a reporter chasing the story of a lifetime while essentially hunting a ghost. Filled with mystery, ambition, deception, and unexpected twists, the production pulls audiences into the elusive world of wealth and power, where not everything is as it seems.

At the centre of the story is a billionaire so private and untouchable that very few people have ever truly seen him. Driven by curiosity and the promise of uncovering the truth, the reporter begins a relentless search to find the man behind the fortune. Along the way, he unknowingly receives help from Mama and her crew, who live off the money she provides, slowly piecing together clues that lead him deeper into a world of secrets, manipulation, and hidden identities.

Blending suspense with dynamic musical storytelling, New Money explores themes of greed, status, loyalty, and the lengths people will go to in pursuit of success. The musical keeps audiences guessing at every turn while delivering moments of humour, drama, and powerful emotion.

The production is written and directed by VJ Bassett, marking the second original show he has written to date. With a passion for creating bold and engaging theatre, Bassett brings a unique voice to the stage through innovative storytelling and compelling characters. New Money showcases his growing creative vision, combining contemporary themes with theatrical flair to create a production that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

With its intriguing storyline, memorable characters, and exciting musical elements, New Money promises audiences an unforgettable theatrical experience full of mystery, surprises, and the question everyone is desperate to answer: who really is the man behind the money?
