Set to star in this new staging will be Elizabeth Connick as Haley, Ned Costello as Presley and William Robinson as Cosmo – with one additional cast member to be revealed soon. The production runs at King’s Head Theatre from 27 August to 4 October 2025, with press night on 2 September.

The creative team includes Kit Hinchcliffe as designer, Ben Jacobs as lighting designer, Sam Glossop as sound designer, James Quaife as general manager and Carrie Croft as production manager.
