WEST END RECAST 2 to Return Nov 9 at the Phoenix Theatre

West End Recast 2 - It's back... it's bigger... it's better! On Sunday 9th November, 7:30pm, at the Phoenix Theatre.

Following on from a completely sold out premiere earlier this year, West End Recast returns with an ALL NEW sensational evening of Musical Theatre madness!
Join us for a brand new, star-studded sequel that might just be even better than the original! Where the Phantom might be female... Annie could be 65 years old... Grizabella might be a dog... and Sweeney Todd could be as nice as pie!

For one night only we give some of the West End's biggest stars the unique opportunity to sing songs from roles they have always wanted to play but will NEVER be cast in. Ignoring stereotypes and pushing boundaries, West End Recast 2 promises another unforgettable chance to witness the musical theatre impossible.

Starring Sabrina Aloueche, Nathan Amzi, Julie Atherton, Gina Beck, Daniel Boys, Rebecca Brewer, Cynthia Erivo, Fra Fee, Nick Holder, Cassidy Janson, Leon Lopez, Michael Matus, Jon Robyns, Katie Rowley Jones, Gareth Snook and Jill Winternitz.
