Following a triumphant UK tour, 101 Dalmatians The Musical is set to dazzle London audiences with a limited six-week run at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, from 18 July to 30 August 2025.
Joining the previously announced Sydnie Christmas, winner of Britain’s Got Talent, as the iconic Cruella De Vil, are two exciting new cast members: beloved TV presenter Jeff Brazier as Casper and JLS star Aston Merrygold as Jasper.
Jeff Brazier, making his stage debut, said:
“I love taking on new challenges and I’m so excited to absorb all of the acting experience around me from the cast of 101 Dalmatians. I’ll be working hard to learn my lines and looking forward to bringing smiles to lots of people’s faces throughout our summer run at the Eventim Apollo.”
Aston Merrygold added:
“I’m very proud to be joining the cast of 101 Dalmatians and excited to be a part of this production in Hammersmith for the summer. The kids can’t wait to see their dad back on stage!”
The full cast also includes Laura Baldwin (Danielle), Dylan Collymore, Victoria Compson-Bradford, Benedict Hastings, Linford Johnson (Pongo), Lottie Johnson, Rachel Lea-Gray, Kenan Lewis Smith, Callum Martin, Ronan O’Hara, Joe Sleight, Samuel Thomas (Tom), Emma Thornett (Perdi), Chioma Uma, and Jhanaica Van Mook.
This new musical adaptation of Dodie Smith’s beloved novel features music and lyrics by Douglas Hodge and a book by Johnny McKnight, based on a stage adaptation by Zinnie Harris.
Directed by Bill Buckhurst, the creative team includes David Woodhead (set design), Sarah Mercadé (costume design), Lucy Hind (choreography), Alfonso Casado Trigo (musical supervision), Jack Hopkins (orchestration), Jimmy Grimes (puppet design), James Whiteside (lighting), and Chris Whybrow (sound design).
