If you are into seeing new musicals at the very beginning of their life, then we have news!
New musical The Singing Revolution will get a staged workshop later this summer at the Savoy Theatre in London, on Thursday 5 September at 1pm.
The show boasts a Europop score by Tony Spinosa (music), and James Bearhart & Tony Spinosa (book and lyrics), and is a love story inspired by the incredible events of the Estonian Revolution, where a nation sang its way to independence from Soviet rule.
After over a decade of occupation, Estonia has become resigned to its fate. But everything changes when a young local, Taavi, finds himself drawn to Sofia, the daughter of a Soviet commander. As time passes and sides are picked, Taavi inspires his fellow countrymen to rise up and demand freedom through the unifying power of song. But as revolt threatens to tear the lovers apart, can Taavi and Sofia’s love survive?
The Singing Revolution will star Dan Burton (White Christmas, Gypsy) as Viktor, with Damian Humbley (The Great British Bake Off Musical) as Nikolai/Gorbachev, Alex James-Hatton (Newsies) as Taavi, Bobbie Little (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) as Leena, Molly Lynch (The Last Five Years) as Sofia, Rachel Stanley (Funny Girl) as Mia/Lenin, and Russell Wilcox (High Society) as Rasmus/Stalin.
The creative team includes director Jonathan O’Boyle, choreographer Joanna Goodwin, designer Polly Sullivan, musical supervisor Brent Crayon, musical director Gabriel Chernick, lighting designer Jack Weir, sound designer Ella Wahlström, associate sound designer Tom Shipman, costume supervisor Sheree Paton, assistant director and dramaturg Annabel Mutale Reed, assistant choreographer Matt Gillett, general managers DEM Productions, and casting director DEM Productions.
The show is produced by Maridom Productions.
The Singing Revolution is playing the Savoy Theatre London on 5 September 2024.
