⭐ SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCE WORLD PREMIERE OF ANDREW LIPPA’S JOHN & JEN – STARRING RACHEL TUCKER & LEWIS CORNAY ⭐
Southwark Playhouse have announced the world premiere of a new version of Andrew Lippa’s musical John and Jen.
From the award winning composer of The Addams Family, Big Fish & The Wild Party, starring Olivier Award nominee Rachel Tucker and introducing Lewis Cornay.
John & Jen is an emotional rollercoaster that explores the dynamics of family relationships. This production is the world premiere of a brand new updated version of the show by Andrew Lippa and Tom Greenwald, with orchestrations by Jason Robert Brown & Andrew Lippa.
1985. John & Jen, brother and sister, born seven years apart, grow up together, totally inseparable. Jen makes a “forever pact” with her little brother to always protect him against anything and anyone, including their own dad.
2005. Jen, alone in Canada with her baby boy whom she has named John, a living memorial to the brother she failed to protect.
The beautiful and haunting score emotionally captures the zeitgeist of contemporary America.

Produced by Bray Productions.
