⭐ CRUISE – WEST END RETURN ANNOUNCED ⭐
Producers Aria Entertainment and Lambert Jackson are delighted to announce Olivier- nominated play CRUISE will return to the West End for a strictly limited run at the Apollo Theatre.
CRUISE is an urgent, moving and inspirational play written and performed by Jack Holden (Ten Per Cent, War Horse), directed by Bronagh Lagan (Little Women), with original music composed and performed live by John Patrick Elliott (The Little Unsaid).
CRUISE was one of the first productions to premiere in the West End when theatres reopened in May 2021 and marked West End debuts for the producers and playwright Jack Holden.
The production won widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike and was nominated for Best New Play at the 2022 Oliviers.
Based on a true story Jack was told whilst volunteering for Switchboard, the LGBTQ+ Listening Service, CRUISE plays tribute to a generation decimated by HIV and AIDs. Bringing to life 1980’s Soho, this kaleidoscopic musical is a celebration of queer culture with an uplifting 80s electronic soundtrack performed live by John Patrick Elliott.
The full creative team includes Jack Holden (writer and performer), John Patrick Elliott (Music and Sound Design), Bronagh Lagan (Director), Nik Corrall (Design), STUFISH Entertainment Architects (Co-Design), Jai Morjaria (Lighting Designer) Sarah Golding (Movement) and Max Pappenheim (Additional Sound Design).
CRUISE will play the Apollo Theatre, running from 13th August – 4th September 2022, with tickets on sale now.
Fantastic! ! !
