⭐ PUNCHY! THE MUSICAL – CAST ANNOUNCED ⭐
The cast for the brand new musical Punchy! The Musical has been announced.
This raucous, affecting piece of gig-theatre brings the soulful sounds of the 1950s to the heart of Hoxton.
Robert Hook (Peaky Blinders) will take on the lead role of the wayward and conflicted George ‘Punchy’ Armstrong. As he attempts to overcome the crimes of his young adulthood in post-war London, Punchy’s path to transformation is witnessed by the alarming appearance of his Ego and Soul and their struggle to influence his decisions. Punchy’s Ego will be played by Jaymes Sygrove (Blithe Spirit) whilst his Soul will be brought to life by Peter Parker Mensah (The Informer Citadel).
They will be joined by Lucy Penrose (Judy!) as Edith Jameson, Amy Mitchell as Doreen Lofthouse, Fiona Kelly as Olive Jameson, Phillip Gill as Manny Cohen, Robert Allen as James Armstrong/Mickey Flynn and Richie Brett as Frankie Brown.
Punchy! The Musical is directed Tiffany King, conceived by composer Jack Terroni, with production consultancy provided by Joan Lane (The King’s Speech), the soundtrack is produced by triple platinum-selling producer/composer Steve Brown (Laura Mvula/Magic Goes Wrong). Adapted by playwright Kevin McMahon from Richard Barrett’s What My Soul Told Me.
Blending a contemporary mix of soul, indie rock and pop songs, Jack Terroni’s soundtrack is played by an onstage band.
Punchy! The Musical will play The Courtyard Theatre from 2nd – 21st November 2021, with tickets on sale now.
