The Off-Broadway musical
i sing! will receive its UK and European premiere at the Union Theatre in Southwark from Wednesday 29 November to Saturday 23 December.
The show will star West End regulars Joanna Ampil and Debbie Kurup alongside Adam-Jon Fiorentino. Also featured are Declan Harvey and George Miller.
i sing! is, "The musical equivalent of
Sex in the City meets
Friends, with a twist of
Ally McBeal and
Will & Grace thrown in for good measure. Centering around the lives of five young New Yorkers confronting their futures,
i sing! is an energetic, humorous, and poignant snapshot of a lust for life in the city that never sleeps."
Joanna Ampil, best known for her role as Kim in
Miss Saigon, joins the show directly from playing Mimi in the current European tour of
Rent.
Debbie Kurup, most recently seen as Velma Kelly in the West End production of
Chicago, is no stranger to new musical theatre writing from New York, having twice headlined the West End's popular
Notes from New York series.
Adam-Jon Fiorentino is best known for playing Casper in TV's
Neighbours, has recently finished filming
Hollyoaks in the City. Following
i sing!, he will return to the West End as Young Ben in the upcoming gala performance of
Follies at the London Palladium.

Eli Bolin and lyrics by Sam Foreman, with book by
Eli Bolin, Sam Foreman, and Benjamin Salka.
