As already confirmed, the cast includes Danielle Fiamanya as Fiona, Louis Gaunt as Tommy, and Gilli Jones as Charlie Dalrymple, who took to The London Palladium stage to perform “Come To Me, Bend To Me” in an exclusive first performance at the 25th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards.

McOnie commented: “I’m thrilled to be directing this brilliant cast in my first season as artistic director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. I can’t wait to work with this talented group of artists to bring Brigadoon back to the London stage after a 35-year absence, transporting audiences from Regent’s Park to the Scottish Highlands.”
