Joined at the chest by a mysterious band of flesh at birth, the famed Siamese twins Chang and Eng were destined to spend every moment of their lives together. Despite their handicap, their incredible courage enabled the twins to face their disability and lead normal lives; even fathering 21 children between them!

Their heartwarming and intriguing story will be brought to life in an original new musical that traces the twins’ childhood, marriage and their dreams of living separately - a touching story which spans more than six decades in the 18th century.
