Josh Rochford & James Robert-Moore to Lead THE ROAD TO QATAR! at Edinburgh Fringe Festival; Full Cast announced

Josh Rochford and James Robert-Moore lead a young and vibrant cast in the European Première of Stephen Cole and David Krane's bio-comic musical which tells the true tale of how the Emir of Qatar commissioned Cole and Krane to write him an arena style musical production.

When two Gay New York Jewish writers Michael (James Robert-Moore) and Jeffrey (Josh Rochford) are commissioned to do the impossible: write a gargantuan Broadway musical for the Emir of Qatar including 100 British actors, 30 Qatari camels, 20 Arabian stallions, 17 fire-eating Croatian acrobats, 30 Russian ballet dancers, 5 falcons and Muhammad Ali, what can possibly happen? Musical Comedy breaks out in the Middle East! Unbelievable side-splitting surprises abound as the New York Jews travel from NYC to Dubai, London, Bratislava and, finally, to Qatar in their own private Bob Hope and Bing Crosby wide screen adventure with a modern up-to-date and off-the-wall twist...The Road to Qatar!

Sami Lamine(Farid) Richard Morse(Mansour) and Natasha Karp (Nazirah) complete the cast who between them have a wealth of musical theatre credits both in and outside of London.

The Road to Qatar! Is directed by Kate Golledge who was resident director on Andrew Lloyd-Webbers recent revival of The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium as well as Sweet Charity at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and on the critically acclaimed Menier Chocolate Factory productions of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine at Trafalgar Studios.
