Meet the cast of Sing Street
The 80s new wave score is by Gary Clark (Danny Wilson), and written by Tony Award-winner Enda Walsh (Once) and directed by Tony winner Rebecca Taichman (Indecent).
John Carney’s (Begin Again, Once) beloved coming-of-age film is brought to the UK stage for the first time in this brand-new production, following sell-out runs in Boston and New York.
Joining Rebecca Taichman in the Sing Street creative team are: Choreography by Sonya Tayeh, Set Design by Bob Crowley, Lighting Design by Natasha Katz, Music Supervision by Peter Gordeno, Video Design by Luke Halls, Costume Design by Lisa Zinni, Wigs, Hair & Make-Up Design by Helen Keane, Musical Direction by Nick J Barstow, Casting by Stuart Burt CDG, Orchestrations & Arrangements by Gary Clark & Pete Gordeno, Choreography Re-Staged by Mia DeWeese & Camden Gonzales, Associate Director Nicholai La Barrie and Dialect & Voice Coach Hazel Holder.
The show is set in Dublin in 1982, and sixteen year old Conor can’t catch a break. His parents are fighting, his brother won’t leave the house and he’s not fitting in at his new Catholic school. Enter Raphina, a mysterious girl who’s too cool for school and on the lookout for a modelling job. In an effort to impress, Conor hires her to star in a music video for his band. Only problem is he doesn’t have a band. Yet.
Director, Rebecca Taichman said in a statement: “This is a hard show to cast: we need youth, serious musicianship, killer singing and real acting talent. It’s not easy to find all of that in one human body, needless to say. Stuart Burt Casting did a bottomless search to find the perfect person for each tricky-to-cast role. Every actor feels like a miracle when you find them. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this extraordinary company at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.”
Sing Street is playing at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from 8 July to 23 August 2025.
