24-year-old Irish girl Fiona O'Malley, 23-year old Adam Wollerton from Yorkshire, 22-year old Rachel Kelly from Glasgow and 25-year old Joseph Alexander are bringing their highly-praised musical production to an off West End venue following a performance at the 900-seater Rose Theatre and sell-out three day run at the IYAF festival in July. The Daily Fail: the Musical will be performed seven times over six days, from the 15th-20th October at Waterloo East Theatre in Central London.

"We hope to bring it to other theatres in central London after Waterloo East. We're absolutely overwhelmed by the feedback from the Rose Theatre performance and our sold-out running at IYAF. The audiences loved it. They clapped and laughed at the right moments. Since the IYAF running, we've taken out two songs, shaved 20 minutes off the script and added a new song and scene. We've got new cast and they are triple threats: they can all sing, act and dance to a world-class level. Overall the production is stronger, tighter and bigger now and I'm confident that it will be well-received in central London! The composer, Joseph Alexander; choreographer, Rachel Kelly; director, Adam Wollerton; and the writer, yours truly, have the same work ethic with a commitment to excellence so the creative team is strong and determined to make it a success! It's so flattering to have people like the royal family backing the musical, but we value the common man's support just as much, if not more, because they're the ones buying our tickets and an artist is only as good as its fans!" - The creative team of the Daily Fail.

The Daily Fail is a new, original comedy musical which takes a satirical look at the Leveson Inquiry hacking scandal and the nature of modern media and fame. The story is about two girls, London and Dim, who are desperate to be famous at any cost but the only problem is they don't have any talent. They find themselves in hell when they become famous at the granted wish of their Fairy Godmother (Rupert Murdoch) and cannot handle the pressure of fame nor the pressure of the press. Featuring hit songs such as 'Hugh Grant Is My Ideal Man', 'We Could Be Famous', 'Making A Sex Tape' and 'Seven Deadly Press Sins', this Musical is the talk of new theatre in London!
