⭐ PRIDE – A NEW MUSICAL TO TRANSFER TO BRIDGE THEATRE ⭐
The joy-filled new British musical PRIDE will transfer to the Bridge Theatre, it has been announced.
Following an overwhelming audience response to its sold-out seasons at the Sherman Theatre Cardiff (where it broke Box Office records) and at the National Theatre, the hilarious and heartfelt new musical will be the premiere production at London’s 900 seat state-of-the-art Bridge Theatre – now owned and operated by Trafalgar Entertainment – from this November.
Based on a remarkable true story and the subsequent award-winning film, the critically acclaimed new musical reunites director Matthew Warchus and writer Stephen Beresford and takes place during the 1984 miners’ strike, when a group of friends formed Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) before helping a small village in South Wales.
Pride is set to an original score by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, with songs inspired by protest anthems, pop, rock, disco and the Welsh choral tradition. A testament to the extraordinary power of ordinary people coming together, PRIDE has deeply connected with audiences across England and Wales, where the impact of its message of unity has filled the auditorium with electrifying joy, tears and standing ovations every single night.
The cast for the transfer will include Samuel Barnett as Jonathan, Matthew Durkan as Mike, Gillian Elisa as Gwen, Chris Jenkins as Gethin, Darren Lawrence as Cliff, Kirsty Malpass as Hefina, Madeleine Morgan as Ensemble, Sarah Pugh as Siân, Caroline Sheen as Maureen, Courtney Stapleton as Steph and Matthew Woodyatt as Dai. Further casting will be announced soon.
