Van Gogh musical Vagabond Skies sets cast

The cast has been announced for Vagabond Skies – The Van Gogh Musical, which will run at the Gilded Balloon at the Museum during the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe from 30 July to 21 August.

The new sung-through musical, written by Tony Norman with orchestration by Mark Edwards, is directed by Sarah Dormady and explores the later years of Vincent van Gogh, drawing inspiration from his correspondence with his brother Theo. The show had an initial short run in Eastbourne last autumn.

Alex Bloomer (The Lion King) plays Vincent, joined by Richard Dawes (Stiletto) as Theo, Jordan Frazier (Hamilton) as Agostina and Francesca Leyland (Les Misérables) as Johanna.

The company also includes Patrick Jennings as Gaugin, Maren Ovida as Sien and Anna Unwin as Rachel. Ensemble members are Max Cadman, Sacha Koplewsky, Jake White and Amy Bennett.

Performances take place at 9pm, with no shows on 11 or 18 August.
