First look images are released for Midnight Cowboy – A New Musical which opens tonight at Southwark Playhouse Elephant. This powerful adaptation features a book by Bryony Lavery, the Tony-nominated writer of Frozen, and a soundtrack by three-time Ivor Novello Award-winning composer Francis “Eg” White, known for his work with Adele, Sam Smith, Florence + The Machine, and James Morrison. The production is directed and choreographed by Nick Winston.

The cast includes Max Bowden as Rico ‘Ratzo’ Rizzo, WhatsOnStage Award nominee Paul Jacob French as Joe Buck, and Tori Allen-Martin as Cass. The ensemble also features Elena Breschi as Delores, Joanne Henry as Grandma Sally, Nick Len as Swing, Hollie-Ann Lowe as Swing, Dean Makowski-Clayton as Student, Christian Maynard as Tombaby, Phoebe Roberts as Chalkline Annie, Tim Rogers as Woodsy Niles, Rohan Tickell as Mr O’Daniel, and Matthew White as Towny.

Midnight Cowboy is based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy, which inspired the beloved triple Academy Award-winning 1969 film starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. The musical captures the gripping tension of dreaming big while trying to survive the grind of New York City.
