Following two sold out performances at the Hen and Chickens in October, Streetlights, People! Productions are transferring their production of Adam Gwon's award-winning musical Ordinary Days to London Theatre Workshop for a strictly limited three-week engagement (29th May to 17th June, 2017).

Cast & Creative Team

The transfer features the return of original cast members Alistair Frederick (Hotel For Criminals, New Wimbledon Studio Theatre; Lead Vocalist, Tokyo Disney; Bathhouse: The Musical, London and US cast) as Jason; Neil Cameron (NewsRevue, Canal Café Theatre; That Catholic Thing, Camden People's Theatre) as Warren; and Nora Perone (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) as Deb, while introducing Kirby Hughes (From Here to Eternity, original West End cast; A Damsel in Distress, Chichester Festival Theatre; Flashdance, original West End cast) as Claire.

Direction is provided by Jen Coles (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama), with musical direction by Rowland Braché (Footloose, UK Tour).

Synopsis

Ordinary Days follows the parallel lives of four New Yorkers struggling to find meaning in the madness: Claire, who can't let go of her past; Jason, determined to begin their future together; Warren, an artist who's lost his sense of purpose; and Deb, a student who's lost her thesis notes. It is a witty, poignant, and ultimately very relatable story about human connection and finding beauty in unexpected places. In his review of the original Off-Broadway production, New York Times reviewer Charles Isherwood wrote that "Ordinary Days... captures with stinging clarity that uneasy moment in youth when doubts begin to cloud hopes for a future of unlimited possibility."

Dates

Ordinary Days opens at London Theatre Workshop on Monday, 29th May and runs Monday to Saturday at 8:00pm for three weeks, closing on Saturday, 17th June. Press night is Wednesday, 31st May at 8:00pm, with an additional press matinee on Thursday, 1st June at 3:00pm.

Tickets

Tickets are £15 / £12 concessions. Concessions are available for over-65s, students with ID, groups of 8+, or for Spotlight, Equity, MMD, or MTN members on Monday and Tuesday ("Industry Nights"). Tickets are available online here.
