Full casting announced for the unique cross-cast projects CLOUDS and REEFER MADNESS. BRIDEWELL THEATRE, LONDON: MARCH 24th - 28th 2009
Clouds will be performed every evening at 7pm (matinee 26th, 3.45pm)
Full casting has been announced for the London premiere of the new musical Clouds and the UK premiere of the off-Broadway smash hit Reefer Madness! The entire cast will be performing in both shows each evening, with one 'early' and one 'late' show.
The full cast list is: Lisa-Marie Graham, Lucy Grainger, Rebecca Hamway, Corinne Hart, William Hazell, Tom Idelson, Dean Kilford, Annabel King, Jenny Layton, Simon Mathis, Lisa Millar, Katie Paine, Leejay Townsend, Anton Tweedale & Matthew Williamson. The show is being staged by repertory company flytheatre, made up of seasoned performers and recent drama school graduates.
"This is a huge challenge - we are effectively staging two brand new musicals at the same time," commented the director of Clouds, Alex Outhwaite. "We are delighted to be working with such a talented and versatile cast, who will be combining several roles in both shows in what will certainly be an action-packed but rewarding project."
"The musicals are both hilarious, colourful and based on two very different historical texts - a 2500 year old Greek satire and a 1930s drug propaganda film!" added the director of Reefer Madness, Chris Adams. "We are delighted to have been offered the opportunity to stage these great new shows for a London audience".
Clouds is staged in London after a successful national tour in 2008. Reefer Madness! is staged for the first time in the UK after runs in LA, off-Broadway and a feature-film adaptation starring Alan Cumming and Neve Campbell.
As well as shared casts, the productions will share orchestras, technical teams and designers.
