Cast announced for ”Tarantino Live” at Riverside Studios

Casting has been announced for Tarantino Live at the Riverside Studios.

A spin on a plethora of Tarantino movie classics, the show will open on 6 June at the Hammersmith venue. It will play in Studio 2 for a ten-week season to 13 August.

Produced by Los Angeles-based live entertainment company For the Record, the show is billed as a “character driven concert that seamlessly merges the world of Hollywood and musical theatre”.

Set to appear are actress and singer/songwriter Tara Lee, leading “The Fox Force Five” as Mia from Pulp Fiction (and her alter ego Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill). She’s joined by two-time Olivier Award-winner George Maguire as Vincent (a mashup of Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction, Rick Dalton from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Mr Pink from Reservoir Dogs).

West End Dreamgirls‘ Karen Mav will play the iconic Jackie Brown, X Factor UK favourite Anton Stephans as Jules from Pulp Fiction (also plays Ordell from Jackie Brown), from Britain’s Got Talent and chart-topping singer of the group Artful Dodger Lifford Shillingford plays Marsellus from Pulp Fiction (also plays Django from Django Unchained), West End’s Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia! star Mark Isherwood plays Bill (a mix of the title character from Kill Bill, Col Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds, and two Stuntmen: Mike from Death Proof and Cliff from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), and James Byous as Butch from Pulp Fiction (also plays Lt Aldo Raine from Inglourious Basterds and Dr King Schultz from Django Unchained).

The other “Foxes” will be brought to life by the powerhouse vocals of Maeva Feitelson as Fabienne from Pulp Fiction (also plays her alter ego Shosanna Dreyfus from Inglourious Basterds), Cleo Caetano as Butterfly from Death Proof (and her alter ego Santanico Pandemonium from From Dusk Till Dawn), Sha Dessi as O-ren Ishii from Kill Bill (also plays Pussycat from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Katie Tonkinson as Sadie from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Samara Casteallo as Nikki (inspired by Vernita Green’s daughter in Kill Bill, the imagined hero of a future Kill Bill 3).

Battling alongside the “Foxes” are dynamos Ben Mabberley as Tex from Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, and Samuel Nicholas as Marvin from Pulp Fiction.

The vintage rock band of Reservoir Dogs is lead by Alexander Zane playing the role of Clarence (inspired by Tarantino’s very first film My Best Friend’s Birthday, and first Hollywood script True Romance).
