Tim Edwards Joins UK Premiere of THE STORY OF MY LIFE

Tim Edwards (The Book of Mormon, Wicked) will now co-star in the  UK premiere of the intimate two-person Broadway musical The Story of My Life.

The production, with music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill, directed by Robert McWhir, will start previews on Tuesday 10 September at the at the Stage Door Theatre in Drury Lane. 

Press Night is Friday September 13 at 7.30pm.

Best-selling author Thomas Weaver has come back to his hometown to deliver the eulogy for his  childhood friend, Alvin Kelby, but finds himself desperately scrambling for something to say. His reality is shattered by the memory of Alvin who takes him deep into Thomas’s mind cluttered with a lifetime of stories. 

Tim Edwards (Alvin) was in The Book of Mormon (West End), Wicked (UK tour,) Grease the Musical (European tour) and played Chandler Bing in Friendsical the Musical (UK tour). 

Markus Sodergren (Thomas) returns to The Stage Door Theatre after playing ‘Man’ in the two-hander  Stephen Sondheim revue, Marry Me A Little (Offie nomination Best Lead Performance in a Musical). His previous credits include Heathers the Musical (UK tour).

Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the  complexity of emotions under which it lies buried.  A series of songs - in turn playful, touching and  dramatic -  The Story of My Life inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest  chapters of our own life stories.
