Welcome to the annual Scout Games! Scouts from around the world have gathered to compete, but when an intruder threatens to sabotage the competition, it is up to Joe and Eliza to put aside their rivalries and use their newfound skills to save the day! Created in partnership with the Scouts, multi-award-winning Gigglemug Theatre (A Jaffa Cake Musical, RuneSical, Timpson: The Musical) is taking their smash hit, actor-musician led musical comedy on tour throughout June.
This family-friendly show sold out its initial run at The Other Palace in 2023, where it received a WhatsOnStage Award Nomination for Best Off-West End Production and was described by former Chief Scout Bear Grylls as ‘Incredible!’.
For its final ever run, the production will tour to The Crescent Theatre, Birmingham from June 3rd – 7th; The Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester from June 10th – 15th; Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London from June 18th – 22nd; and The Egg Theatre, Bath from June 26th – 29th. Tickets are available here.
Joining the company are Eleanor Fransch (You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, Alice in Wonderland at The New Vic) as Eliza and Burhan Kathawala as Joe. Returning to the production are Kemi Clarke (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Gruffalo) as Scout Leader Dylan, Katie Pritchard (A Jaffa Cake Musical) as Rosie, Emily Kitchingham as Charlotte, and Rob Gathercole (Faking Bad) as Luke/Linus Lionheart. Heather Gourdie completes the cast as Narrator/Swing. Music & Lyrics are by David Fallon with Book & Lyrics by Sam Cochrane, who is also the Director. Musical Direction is by Rob Gathercole.
As part of their Summer Season, Gigglemug will also return to the Edinburgh Fringe this year with A Jaffa Cake Musical, which sold out its entire run at last year’s festival, receiving over thirty 4 & 5 star reviews.
