⭐ ELENA SKYE TO LEAD WORLD PREMIERE OF CLOSE UP – THE TWIGGY MUSICAL – WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY BEN ELTON ⭐
Initial casting has been announced for the world premiere of CLOSE UP – THE TWIGGY MUSICAL.
Elena Skye (We Will Rock You) will star as Twiggy, in the new musical based on the life of supermodel, set to premiere at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
The story of a skinny kid from Neasden who became the most famous teenager on the planet and the ‘face of the 1960’s may seem like the stuff of fairy tales, but there is tragedy as well as triumph in this intimate portrayal of a true 20th century icon.
It’s the story of a young working class woman who faced snobbery and sexism in a pre-Me Too world and yet achieved her dreams without ever compromising who she was.
The show charts Twiggy’s journey through laughter and tears from the suburbs of London to the world’s fashion capitals to Hollywood and Broadway and ultimately to becoming a national treasure and Dame of the Realm. All accompanied by a fabulous score featuring the hits that have been the soundtrack to Twiggy’s life.
CLOSE UP – THE TWIGGY MUSICAL is written & directed by Ben Elton. Featuring set & video Design by Tim Bird, costume design by Jonathan Lipman, sound design by Gregory Clarke, musical supervision & orchestrations by Stuart Morley and choreography by Jacob Fearey.
CLOSE UP – THE TWIGGY MUSICAL will play the Menier Chocolate Factory, running from 18th September – 18th November 2023.
Fabulous! ! !
