Review: BARE: A POP OPERA, London Palladium
One-off staged concerts are all the rage these days. A way for producers to attract established stars that will fill a room and the chance to test the waters for potential longer runs are only a few benefits. Realistically, they’re also cheaper, relatively risk-free, and easier to mount than a full-blown production. The latest in this type of venture is Bare, Damon Intrabartolo and Jon Hartmere’s musical with a troubled history.
Full Cast Set For BARE Concert at the London Palladium
BARE comes to the London Palladium on Sunday 7 April, in a one-night-concert. The full cast has been announced for this upcoming production, led by the previously announced Jordan Luke Gage as Jason, and Laurie Kynaston as Peter. Find out who else is joining the cast here!

Bare: A Pop Opera, is a coming-of-age rock musical. The story focuses on a group of high school students at a private Catholic boarding school facing issues of sexuality, identity, and the future. As they struggle to come to terms with who they are, and who the world thinks they should be, they seek answers from their Church, their friends, and ultimately, from within themselves.
