⭐ GRAYSON THE MUSICAL – WORKSHOP PRODUCTION – CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐
The full cast for the upcoming workshop production of GRAYSON THE MUSICAL has been announced.
GRAYSON THE MUSICAL is a brand-new musical comedy inspired by the extraordinary life of Turner Prize and BAFTA award-winning Sir Grayson Perry, playing at Soho Theatre Walthamstow this Summer.
Starring Jack Shalloo as Grayson Perry, with Sooz Kempner as Barb, Rebekah Hinds as Phillippa, Sam Lupton as Colin/Lawrence, Lemuel Knights as Alan Measles and Gloria Onitiri as Therapist.
Also starring Katy Baker as Miss Green/Pottery Teacher/Nurse, Elliot Norrington as Young Grayson, Lucy Park as Ger-Woman/Journalist/Shop Assistant, Joshua Lay as Dad/Nicolas Serota and Ben Welch as Zumba Teacher/Art School Tutor/Philippa’s Assistant.
Directed by double Olivier Award winner Sean Foley (The Ladykillers, Dr. Strangelove), GRAYSON THE MUSICAL tells the incredible true story of one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists.
Follow Grayson as he struggles to make his mark on the world while never quite feeling like he fits in. From the wrong class, wearing the wrong dress and making all the wrong choices, Grayson’s journey takes him from an Essex working-class council estate to the dizzying heights of the Tate Gallery. This irreverent odyssey sees him navigate identity, creativity and self-acceptance via marital breakdowns, career disasters and some life coaching from a six-foot teddy bear named Alan.
Combining outrageous humour with emotional honesty, GRAYSON THE MUSICAL features music by Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer – The Opera), book by Sara-Ella Ozbek, and lyrics and life story by Grayson Perry himself.
Funny, irreverent and unexpectedly moving, this joyous new musical explores family, therapy, art and the courage it takes to embrace who you truly are.
Presented as an exclusive first-look engagement ahead of further development, these five performances offer audiences an exclusive early opportunity to experience this bold new British musical.
GRAYSON THE MUSICAL will be directed by Sean Foley, with musical supervision by Phil Bateman, design by Alice Power, video design by Akhila Krishnan, lighting design by Rory Beaton, sound design by Gareth Tucker for Autograph, choreography by Lizzi Gee and musical direction by Isaac McCullough.
GRAYSON THE MUSICAL will play at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, running from 16th – 19th July 2026, with tickets on sale now.
