Gigglemug Theatre has released the first look production images for its tour of Scouts! The Musical.
The actor-musician led comedy, created in partnership with the Scouts, will visit The Crescent Theatre, Birmingham (3–7 June), The Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester (10–15 June), Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London (18–22 June), and The Egg Theatre, Bath (26–29 June).
Following a sold-out run at The Other Palace in 2023 and a WhatsOnStage Award nomination for Best Off-West End Production, Scouts! The Musical returns with a heartwarming story packed with campfire rock ballads and hypnotic tango dance breaks.
The show follows Joe and Eliza, two rival scouts who must work together to save the annual Scout Games from sabotage. It’s a tale of teamwork, adventure, and learning skills for life.
Former Chief Scout Bear Grylls described the production as “Incredible!”
The cast includes Eleanor Fransch (Eliza), Burhan Kathawala (Joe), Kemi Clarke (Scout Leader Dylan), Katie Pritchard (Rosie), Emily Kitchingham (Charlotte), Rob Gathercole (Luke/Linus Lionheart), and Heather Gourdie (Narrator/Swing).
The production is directed by Sam Cochrane, with musical direction by Rob Gathercole. Book and lyrics are by Sam Cochrane, and music and lyrics by David Fallon.
Lighting design is by Damian Robertson, with set design contributions from Lauren Jones, Iza Fordham, Emily Cave, Aleyna Feran, Abbie Hardcastle, and Ema Cunha. Production photography is by Benkin Photography.
