Due to unforeseen scheduling complications, Matt Cardle has withdrawn from the upcoming UK premiere of Falsettos at The Other Palace.  Celebrated West End musical theatre performer, Joel Montague (Kiss Me Kate/Fat Friends/School Of Rock/Funny Girl/Urinetown), will be stepping in to replace Matt in the role of Mendel.

The hotly anticipated UK premiere of Falsettos, the Tony Award winning musical by William Finn (Music, Lyrics & Book) and James Lapine (Book), will open as previously planned from 30 August – 23 November for a strictly limited season, with press night on Thursday 5 September.

Matt Cardle, said, “I am truly sorry that circumstances beyond our control have led to my departure from Falsettos. It has been such a hard decision for us to make, as I know Tara Overfield-Wilkinson is going to deliver the most incredible show. It’s a complex and exciting show and I can’t wait to watch the world-class cast bring this to life at The Other Palace and urge anyone who hasn’t yet bought tickets to do so before the run sells out. I for one won’t miss the chance to watch it.”

       

Tara Overfield-Wilkinson, Director, said, “On behalf of myself and the entire company we want to wish Matt all the love and support he needs for having made such a difficult decision to step away from Falsettos. I understand and respect his gruelling schedule and I hope to work with him again in the future.”

Joel Montague joins the previously announced Natasha J Barnes (Cordelia), Daniel Boys (Marvin), Gemma Knight-Jones (Charlotte), Laura Pitt-Pulford (Trina), Oliver Savile (Whizzer), Albert Atack, George Kennedy, Elliot Morris and James Williams (Jason) and Matthew Mckenna (Understudy) and Natasha O’Brien (Understudy).
