During our rehearsals visit, we also had the opportunity to sit down with Hunter (who plays Henry in the new musical) and Woodward (who portrays Clare), as well as director Bill Buckhurst, to get the full lowdown on the exciting project.
Joining Hunter and Woodward on stage will be Aisha Davis (UK theatre debut) as Dr Kendrick, Ross Dawes (Rock of Ages) as Henry’s Dad, Hiba Elchikhe (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as Charisse, Stevie Hutchinson (Ghost) as Clare’s Dad, Tim Mahendran (& Juliet) as Gomez, Sorelle Marsh (White Christmas) as Henry’s Mum, Benjamin Purkiss (Zorro) as Jason / Mark and Alwyne Taylor (Company) as Old Clare. The actresses playing Young Clare will be announced shortly.
The production also features designs by Anna Fleischle, choreography by Shelley Maxwell, lighting by Lucy Carter, illusions by Chris Fisher, video design by Andrzej Goulding, sound by Richard Brooker, musical supervision and arrangement by Nick Finlow and orchestrations by Bryan Crook. Casting is by Grindrod Burton Casting.
