Producer Barney Wragg said: “It’s great to be working with Laurence again, the last time we worked together was on School of Rock on Broadway. As part of the development for School of Rock, we presented an early version of the show to live audiences at the Gramercy Theatre. This allowed the creative team to see a real audience reaction to the piece and allowed us to tweak and improve the work before we began the formal previews and opening at the Winter Garden. We’re excited to present Saving Grace at Riverside this November in the same vein. We are inviting audiences to have a first look at what goes into the creation of a new musical. It is a chance for them not only to see and enjoy Saving Grace, but to respond to the show and help our team improve and develop the piece. We are very much looking forward to the run at the Riverside Studios and sharing the next stage of our Saving Grace journey.” It was announced yesterday that Laurence Connor is also set to direct the Broadway transfer of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella - now to be called Bad Cinderella. Currently playing at the Riverside Studios is gothic romance Cages. More about Saving Grace at the Riverside Studios in London

The BRIT award-winning Scottish singer and songwriter KT Tunstall has written a musical during Covid lockdown! She told BBC Scotland that she wanted to flex her musical muscles whilst prevented from hitting the road on tour and playing to live audiences during the various Covid lockdowns. And the musical she has been penning in a new show based on the 2000 film Saving Grace, which starred Brenda Blethyn and Scottish comedian, actor and writer Craig Ferguson. "It's a really new adventure for me, it's very exciting," she told the BBC, and the musical is set to be her main focus for the rest of this year. "[Musicals] were always something that kind of piqued my interest and I was just so pleased that it came together at the right time." In terms of the adaptation of the movie into a musical, she said that it was a "really brilliant adaptation of the film. We've done a really rip-roaring, very funny adaptation for the theatre. I'm really excited to finally turn this movie into a musical 20 years later."
