Casting has been announced for The Distance You Have Come, a Scott Alan song cycle that will run at The Cockpit in October.

Wicked stars Emma Hatton and Alexia Khadime will be joined by Dean John-Wilson (Aladdin), Jodie Jacobs (Rock of Ages), Andy Coxon (Hair) and Adrian Hansel (Five Guys Named Moe).

With musical direction by Scott Morgan and featuring the songs of composer Alan, The Distance You Have Come follows the lives of six individuals who juggle the constant challenges of life, depression, heartache and love.

Alan said: "I have long been asked to bring together my eight albums worth of songs, to stream a line of stories together. I never thought it was time. It wasn't until the release of my
latest album, "Lifeline", that I feel I had an ending that was less about the gravity of where I've been, and more about the advancement of who I am today and the pride that I have within that."

The Distance You Have Come runs at The Cockpit from 16 to 28 October 2018.
