Taking place at the Arts Theatre on 10 September, the cast will be led by Rob Houchen (Les Miserables), Jonny Labey (In the Heights), Maria Coyne (Wicked) and Alexia Khadime (The Book of Mormon, Wicked).

They are joined by Chris Howell, Rebecca Parker, Stephanie Brown, Toyan Thomas-Browne, Niall Hemingway, Natalie Green, Benjamin McMillan, Karen Walker and Bethany Watts.
