First look rehearsal images are released for We Aren’t Kids Anymore which will premiere at the Savoy Theatre next week for two performances only.
Renowned actor Nigel Harman, known for his roles in Casualty, Downton Abbey, and Eastenders, joins the cast alongside Cassius Hackforth, famed for his performance in Jay Kelly on Netflix. They will be performing with an exceptional ensemble that includes Melanie La Barrie (Hadestown, &Juliet), Dylan Mulvaney (FAGHAG), Aimie Atkinson (SIX The Musical, Pretty Woman), and Jenna Lee-James (Frozen, We Will Rock You).
The musical, created by Drew Gasparini, delves into the universal experience of growing up, presenting five distinct perspectives. Gasparini’s diverse musical style, ranging from pop to rock and country, promises to break the traditional rules of musical theatre.
Special guest Jeevan Braich, winner of The Stage Debut’s Best Performer In A Musical Award, will make an unforgettable appearance in Act 2. The cast also features Andrew Kober (Beetlejuice, School of Rock) and Tony Bayliss (We Will Rock You, Tommy).
Following a nationwide competition, aspiring performers Katie Leach and Sally Forster will share the stage for this extraordinary premiere. Leach will perform during the matinee show, while Forster will debut in the evening performance.
We Aren’t Kids Anymore is directed by Jake Smith, with musical supervision and direction by Lauren Hopkinson, and choreography by Chris Cuming. The concert performance will showcase Gasparini’s extensive musical career, including songs from his viral concept album.
