Casting announced for new musical Prom Kween

Casting has been announced for Rebecca Humphries and Joanna Cichonska's new musical Prom Kween, which runs at the Vault Festival from 15 to 19 February.

Humphries (Wild Honey, Hampstead Theatre) will be joined by Sam Swann (Wendy and Peter, RSC), Sule Rimi (Mary Stuart, Almeida), Sean Rigby (Endeavour, ITV) and Lucy Pearman (LetLuce).

Produced by Aine Flanagan (Margaret Thatcher: Queen of Soho), Prom Kween is inspired by true events surrounding the first boy to become high school prom queen in America.

Humphries' comedy show Dizney Rascal sold out its entire run during the Edinburgh Fringe and subsequent tour. Prom Kween is her first musical.

Musical director Cichonska has credits including Titanic at the Charing Cross Theatre, Side Show at the Southwark Playhouse and Oliver! at the Leicester Curve.

Prom Kween runs at the Vault Festival from 15 to 19 February 2017.
