Casting has been revealed for the West End-bound musical SuperYou, which will be conducting workshops next month.

The musical follows a comic book artist who finds her own voice and learns to love herself when her own superheroine creations come to life.

Produced by All Awesome LLC/Melissa M Jones, SuperYou is directed and choreographed by JoAnn M Hunter, with music direction and co-arrangements by Wendy Bobbitt Cavett.

During the pandemic era, the musical became the first theatrical show to be performed live. It was staged as concerts on pick-up trucks at a drive-in in upstate New York, which were filmed and released on Broadway on Demand.
