⭐ CHARLIE & STAN – UK TOUR CAST ANNOUNCED ⭐
The cast has been announced for the upcoming UK tour of Charlie & Stan, created by Told by an Idiot, written and directed by Paul Hunter.
Due to the actor playing Charlie Chaplin in the original production becoming pregnant, Charlie Chaplin will now be played by Danielle Bird, joining Jerone Marsh-Reid as Stan Laurel, Nick Haverson as Fred Karno and Sara Alexander playing all the other parts, including Chaplin’s mother, and the piano!
They will be joined by Reggie, making his stage debut as Scraps the Dog. Reggie will not play Sundays – something to do with Elaine Paige – and, at those performances, the part of Scraps will be played by a puppet.
Inspired by real life events, Told by an Idiot’s acclaimed production of Charlie & Stan is the remarkable story of the greatest comedy double act that nearly was. With an original piano score played live at every performance, Charlie & Stan is a hilarious and deeply moving homage to two men who changed the world of comedy forever.
Charlie & Stan is directed by Paul Hunter and designed by Ioana Curelea, with lighting design by Aideen Malone, video design by Dom Baker, original piano score by Mercury Award nominee Zoe Rahman and song arrangement by Sophie Cotton. Jos Houben is physical comedy consultant and dance choreography is by Nuna Sandy for ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company. Charlie & Stan is from an idea by Irene Cotton, with additional material from the company.
Charlie & Stan is produced by David Pugh, Told by an Idiot and Theatre Royal Bath Productions.
Charlie & Stan will open in Bath on 17th July, followed by a national tour. Tickets on sale now.
