⭐ TOP OF THE WORLD – THE JAMES CAGNEY MUSICAL – LONDON WORKSHOPS ANNOUNCED – DIRECTED BY JOHN RANDO ⭐
Top Of The World – The James Cagney Musical arrives in London’s West End in a by-invitation-only workshop presentation this December, it has been announced.
Top Of The World is the story of Hollywood’s tough guy in tap shoes. The musical follows James Cagney from his early days on the streets of New York as a vaudeville song-and-dance man, to his rise as cinema’s original tough guy and one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
Previously known as Cagney The Musical, the original work features music and lyrics by Robert Creighton and Christopher McGovern, and a book by Peter Colley.
Now, with a new title and a new director, Tony Award winner John Rando (Back To The Future – The Musical), at the helm, Top Of The World has been further reimagined and developed with an expanded book, new musical numbers, and an eye towards London’s West End and Broadway.
Top Of The World stars Fred Astaire Award winner Robert Creighton as James Cagney, leading an ensemble choreographed by Tony Award nominee Joshua Bergasse.
Featuring a score that blends original music with classic George M. Cohan favorites, including “Give My Regards To Broadway,” “Grand Old Flag,” and “Yankee Doodle Dandy.”
The London workshops follow an acclaimed New York run of over 500 performances, and sold-out engagements in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
