The Menier Chocolate Factory in London has announced a last-minute casting change for their current production of Power of Sail by Paul Grellong.
Currently playing Baxter in the show is Olivier Award-winner Giles Terera (Hamilton, Blues for an Alabama Sky, Clyde’s). Terera is about to star in the European premiere of musical Passing Strange at the Young Vic theatre from 14 May, and is therefore leaving Power of Sail this Sunday, 5 May 2024.
Giles Terera will be replaced in the final week of the run by Syrus Lowe. Power of Sail finishes on 12 May 2024.
Lowe was most recently in the West End production of Best of Enemies at the Noel Coward Theatre. His other theatre credits include The Long Song at Chichester Festival Theatre, La Cage aux Folles at the Park Theatre, Henry V at Regents Park Open Air Theatre, The Inheritance at the Young Vic and Noel Coward Theatre, and Saint Joan at the Donmar Warehouse.
Lowe’s extensive TV credits include Sherlock, Avenue 5, Treason, Holby City, Doctors, Ashes to Ashes, and The Bill. For film, he played the titular role of Jimi Hendrix in Jimi: The Last 24 Hours.
The cast of Power of Sail also features West End star and Olivier Award winner Julian Ovenden (South Pacific, Downton Abbey) as Charles Nichols, screen and stage star Tanya Franks (EastEnders, The Truth) as Amy, Katie Bernstein (The Play that Goes Wrong) as Maggie, Georgia Landers (Rock n Roll) as Quinn, Paul Rider (Dangerous Liaisons, Hairspray) as Frank, and Michael Benz (Mike and Angelo, The Little Foxes, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) as Lucas.
Power of Sail is directed by Dominic Dromgoole (Marjorie Prime ), and written by Paul Grellong (The Boys, Law & Order: SVU).
The Menier are co-producing the show with Broadway heavyweight Daryl Roth.
Power of Sail is playing at the Menier Chocolate Factory to 12 May 2024.
