⭐ ROCK FOLLIES – A NEW MUSICAL – ANNOUNCED FOR CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE – STARRING CARLY BAWDEN, ZIZI STRALLEN, SAMUEL BARNETT, TAMSIN CARROLL & FRED HAIG ⭐
Rock Follies, a brand-new musical has been announced for Chichester Festival Theatre.
Before the Spice Girls, Sugababes and Saturdays…
It’s the 1970s and feminism is on the rise. Fed up with the male-dominated entertainment industry, Anna, Dee and Q take the future into their own hands and form a rock band – the ironically named ‘Little Ladies’. And so begins the musical helter-skelter ride of a lifetime. Can principles and ambition co-exist? And can their friendship survive in the dog-eat-dog world of rock?
Starring Carly Bawden (Romantics Anonymous), Zizi Strallen (Mary Poppins), Samuel Barnett (The History Boys), Tamsin Carroll (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) and Fred Haig (Tammy Faye).
With a book by Chloë Moss and original songs from the ground-breaking TV series by Howard Schuman and Andy Mackay, this punchy new musical is a rousing, riotous rollercoaster of woman power!
Dominic Cooke, former Artistic Director of the Royal Court, directs; his recent work includes Good (West End), his multi award-winning production of Sondheim’s Follies (National Theatre), and on screen, The Courier.
Rock Follies is based on the television series written by Howard Schuman from an original idea of the Rock Bottom Group (Diane Langton, Gaye Brown and Annabel Leventon) and Don Fraser.
Rock Follies was commissioned and developed by Fictionhouse, Longshot Films and Elpis Theatre Productions Ltd.
Rock Follies will play Chichester Festival Theatre’s Minirva Theatre, running from 24th July – 26th August 2023.
Brilliant! ! !
