⭐ ELTON JOHN & TIM RICE’S AIDA REVIVAL – WEST END UPDATE REVEALED ⭐
New details of plans to bring the new revival of Elton John & Tim Rice’s Aida to the West End have been revealed.
Schele Williams, who starred in the original Broadway production of Aida and is now set to direct the upcoming revival, previously shared an update on West End plans for the new production.
Now Sir Tim Rice has reiterated plans for an incoming West End run, commenting on his podcast – Get On To My Cloud, revealing: “…The producers of Aida are Disney Theatricals, who feel the time is right to bring the show to the United Kingdom. It’s already played in Europe, in such countries as Germany, Holland and Estonia, as well as in Japan and Korea and has done pretty well, so it’s strange that we’ve never yet brought it to London. However the cunning plan is to do so next year, via an out-of-town, so to speak, production in Holland… “.
With a Grammy and Tony Award-winning score by the legendary Elton John and Tim Rice and a revised book by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Aida returns to the stage in a thrilling new production.
The producers of The Lion King and Frozen have reunited the original Tony Award-winning design team of Bob Crowley (scenery and costumes) and Natasha Katz (lighting) to reinterpret their designs in the retelling of this passionate and timeless story for today’s audiences.
Directed by Schele Williams, choreographed by Camille A. Brown and musical supervision by Tony Award-winning Jason Michael Webb, Aida is a compelling tale of star-crossed lovers belonging to feuding nations, torn between their conflicted loyalties to their countries and to each other. With its stirring contemporary score and its powerful love story, Aida reveals that we have the power to change history, but only when we make brave choices and embrace our destiny.
