⭐ JODIE STEELE, ROSS WILLIAM WILD, LUKE BAYER & MORE ANNOUNCED FOR GATSBY – THE MUSICAL ⭐
Casting has now been announced for the upcoming production of Gatsby – The Musical at the Southwark Playhouse.
Gatsby – The Musical will star Jodie Steele (Heathers) as Daisy Buchanan, Ross William Wild (Million Dollar Quartet) as Jay Gatsby, Luke Bayer (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as Nick Carraway, Bradley Clarkson (Dreamcoats & Petticoats) as Tom Buchanan, Robert Grose (Kinky Boots) as Woolfe, Oliver Mawdsley (Miss Nightingale) as Owl Eyes, Freddie Love (Carmen) as Jordan Baker, Julie Yammanee (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) as Myrtle Wilson, Juan Lobo (In the Heights) as George Wilson, Tristan Pegg (The Merry Wives of Windsor) and Ash Weir as ensemble/cover.
This original retelling of Fitzgerald’s classic novel pivots the focus to Daisy, with references to the real woman that inspired her character; his wife, Zelda Fitzgerald.
The story switches between the beginning of the 1920s to the turn of the decade, while Fitzgerald’s fantastical characters play out the drama of the novel. With elegant pace, a smoky jazz score and garnished with wry humour, Gatsby – The Musical revels in the decadence of the period.
Gatsby – The Musical is written and directed by Linnie Reedman, featuring music by Joe Evans, arrangements and orchestrations by Henry Brennan, musical direction by Victoria Calver, choreography by Chris Whittaker, associate choreography by Marcus J Foreman, lighting design by Dominic Warwick, set design by Isabella Van Braeckel, costume design by Belle Mundi, company stage management by Ela Schmid, sound consultation by Lugh Horner, sound operation by Anja Urban, production photography by Lidia Crisafulli and production consultation by Elliot Pritchard.
Gatsby – The Musical will play the Southwark Playhouse, running from 8th December 2021 – 8th January 2022.
Fantastic! ! !
