SUPERMAN WEST END TRANSFER Cast Announced

Premiering on Broadway in 1966, IT'S A BIRD... IT'S A PLANE... IT'S SUPERMAN was first presented in the UK by All Star Productions in March 2014 at Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre in Walthamstow. Casting has just been announced for the upcoming West End transfer of SUPERMAN, and will include Craig Berry (SUPERMAN), Michelle LaFortune (LOIS), Paul Harwood (MAX), Sarah Kennedy (SYDNEY), Matthew Ibbotson (SEDGWICK), Charlie Vose (JIM), Andrew Truluck (PERRY), Jonathan Chan (FATHER LING), Thomas Widdop (FAN PO LING), Christina Harris (TAI LING), William M Lee (DING LING), Jade Nelson (MING FOO LING), Vicky Longley (ENSEMBLE), Charlotte Debattista (ENSEMBLE) and Shiv Rabheru (ENSEMBLE).

IT'S A BIRD... IT'S A PLANE... IT'S SUPERMAN (based on the Comic Strip SUPERMAN) is the tale of Superman's efforts to defeat the vengeful Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a ten-time Nobel Prize-losing scientist, who seeks to destroy the world's symbol of good. Superman also comes into romantic conflict with Max Mencken, a columnist for the Daily Planet newspaper who is intent on revealing Superman's true identity, as he resents Lois Lane's attraction to Superman.

The dazzling score is by Charles Strouse (Annie) and Lee Adams (Bye Bye Birdie) and has a book by David Newman & Robert Benton who would go on to write the screenplays for Bonnie & Clyde and several of the Superman movies.
