DEVILISH!, an original musical comedy with 16 songs (music by BB Cooper and book & lyrics by Chris Burgess), is getting its world premiere at the Landor Theatre now through Sunday 29 May 2016. Press Night is Tuesday 10 May at 7.30pm. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
When Angel, a cute male angel crash-lands in metropolitan London in 2016, he is embraced by mercenary forces.... He wants to become human. Instead he becomes a novelty 'Freak Idol' on TV, lusted after by fans everywhere. But will Angel sell his soul to TV entrepreneur Nick Brimstone and go over to the dark side? How long will it be before he is corrupted by the devilish delights on offer...?
DEVILISH! was inspired by John Ruskin's comment that an angel appearing on earth would be shot on sight. H.G Wells wrote a novel called The Wonderful Visit based on this
observation, but now a new team of writers offer their musical take on this premise. This cartoonish comedy features an original score crammed with upbeat songs aiming to prove that the devil doesn't have all the best tunes.
The cast features:
Alex Green, Victoria Hope, Katie Ann Dolling, Gareth James, Louie Westwood,
George Longworth, Alice Baker, Benedikt De La Bedoyere,,
Laura Hyde, and Helen Ward-Jackson.
Directed by
Marc Urquhart, the DEVILISH! team also includes Musical Director Ian MacGregor, Choreographer
Adam Scown, Set & Costume Designer David Shields and Lighting Designer
David Lambert.
