⭐ LIFT REVIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE ⭐
A revival of the British original musical Lift is coming to the Southwark Playhouse, it has been announced
Gartland Productions is thrilled to announce that LIFT will be returning to London in Summer 2022.
Developed by Perfect Pitch, Lift is set in a London underground lift, in one man’s imagination, on its way to the surface during one minute. In the 54 seconds of the lift’s passage, we are taken on a much longer journey that reveals the people behind the masks they wear, the secrets they dare not speak, and the unrealised connections between them.
This brand-new production of Lift will be a directed by Dean Johnson He/Him (Dogfight) with musical direction and new arrangements by Sam Young He/Him (White Christmas).
The creative team will include Annie Southall She/Her (The Boyfriend) as Choreographer, production design by Andrew Exeter He/Him (High Fidelity), Associate Designer by Natalia Alvarez She/Her and casting by Pearson Casting.
The world premiere of Lift ran a limited season at Soho Theatre in 2013. Starring Cynthia Erivo, Julie Atherton and George Maguire. Casting for this new production is yet to be announced, but Gartland Productions is passionate to reflect the diverse and contemporary landscape of 2022 London.
Lift has music and lyrics by Craig Adams and a book by Ian Watson.
Lift will play the Southwark Playhouse, running from 13th May – 25th June 2022, with tickets on sale now.
Wonderful! ! !
