Maridom Productions will present a staged workshop performance of the new musical The Singing Revolution at the Savoy Theatre on Thursday 5 September at 1 pm. The musical, featuring a book and lyrics by James Bearhart and Tony Spinosa, with music by Spinosa, is directed by Jonathan O’Boyle.

The creative team for the production includes choreographer Joanna Goodwin, designer Polly Sullivan, musical supervisor Brent Crayon, musical director Gabriel Chernick, lighting designer Jack Weir, and sound designer Ella Wahlström. The assistant director and dramaturg is Annabel Mutale Reed, with Matt Gillett as assistant choreographer. DEM Productions handles general management and casting.
