⭐ CAST ANNOUNCED FOR UK PREMIERE OF NEW EPISODIC MURDER MYSTERY MUSICAL – A KILLER PARTY ⭐
Casting for the UK premiere of new episodic murder mystery musical, A Killer Party, has been announced.
The cast includes Oscar Conlon-Morrey (Only Fools and Horse), Debbie Kurup (The Prince of Egypt), Jason Manford (Curtains), Cedric Neal (Back to the Future – The Musical), Amara Okareke (Les Misérables), Lucas Rush (Rock of Ages), Emma Salvo (Come From Away), Ashley Samuels (Motown The Musical), Harriet Thorpe (Absolutely Fabulous) and Rachel Tucker (Wicked).
Bringing the very best of British stage and screen directly into your living room. This side-splitting new musical, fuelled by a contemporary pop score was written & developed in the US in response to the closure of theatres in 2020.
Filmed entirely in each artist’s home, viewers are invited to experience the joy of theatre in an entirely new way. A Killer Party will be released as a series of 9 episodes to watch on-demand via stream.theatre.
When Varthur McArthur (yes, that’s his real name), failed West End actor and current artistic director of Blackpool’s smallest regional theatre, calls a read-through for his latest murder mystery play, the cast of local actors arrive at the party with anything but theatre on their minds. But when Varthur ends up face down in his soup (a gluten-free cheese bisque, thanks for asking), it’s up to Traffic-Police-Officer-turned-Detective Justine Case to piece together what happened. If only the ensemble of suspects would stop singing…
A Killer Party has a book by Emmy award-winner Rachel Axler and Kait Kerrigan, with music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Nathan Tysen.
Directed by Benji Sperring (The Toxic Avenger) and produced by Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment, Tanisha Spring for Blue Mahoe Productions and Ilai Szpiezak.
Please note, dates have now changed from the previous announcement to 26th April – 23rd May 2021.
What. A. Cast! ! !
