Something Rotten! – Richard Fleeshman, Marisha Wallace & Gary Wilmot join the cast

Further casting has been announced for the London theatre premiere of Something Rotten! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane this August.

West End stars Marisha Wallace, Gary Wilmot, Richard Fleeshman and Evelyin Hoskins join previously announced Jason Manford.

Jason Manford stars as Nick Bottom alongside Gary Wilmot (Anything Goes, Wicked) as Nostradamus, Richard Fleeshman (Company, Coronation Street) as Shakespeare, Marisha Wallace (Guys & Dolls, Oklahoma!) as Bea, Evelyn Hoskins (Waitress, Spring Awakening) as Portia, Cassius Hackforth (For Tonight, From Here to Eternity) as Nigel Bottom, Steve Furst (Oliver!, Matilda, Little Britain) as Shylock, Ashley Samuels (Hairspray, The Book Of Mormon) as Troubadour, Cameron Blakely (Disney’s Newsies, Mrs Doubtfire) as Brother Jeremiah and Jenna Boyd (Come From Away, The Wind in the Willows) as Lady Croydon.

Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical, the highly anticipated piece is described as a ‘side-splitting and toe-tapping tribute to theatre itself’. The musical comedy will be stage in concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 5 and 6 August 2024.

Set in 16th century England, the story follows brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, as they struggle to find success in the theatrical world, whilst working in the shadow of rock star playwright William Shakespeare. That is, until they come upon the idea of writing the world’s first musical!

This concert production will be directed by Tim Jackson (Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)) and the full Broadway score will be be performed by the London Musical Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Freddie Tapner (Love Never Dies).

Something Rotten! is written by John O’Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick with music and lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick.
