Four exciting guest stars have been announced to join The Frogs at Southwark Playhouse Borough, where Glee star Kevin McHale will make his UK stage debut.

Sharing the role of Pluto across the run are Victoria Scone, Danielle Steers, Sooz Kempner, and Jo Foster, with one more guest star still to be revealed.

Victoria Scone (she/her), performing 23–31 May, made history as the first person assigned female at birth to compete on Drag Race UK. They later represented the UK on Canada’s Drag Race vs The World.

Sooz Kempner (she/her), performing 9–14 June, is a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian and actor. Her theatre credits include Withnail and I (Birmingham Rep), I Think You Stink! (Soho Theatre), and All Star Brexit Cabaret (London Coliseum).

Jo Foster (they/them), performing 16–21 June, recently appeared in Why Am I So Single? (Garrick Theatre), Just For One Day (The Old Vic), and & Juliet (West End).

Kevin McHale (he/him), best known for his role as Artie Abrams on Glee, stars as Xanthias. He is joined by Dan Buckley as Dionysos, Joaquin Pedro Valdes as Herakles, and a talented ensemble cast.

The Frogs is a laugh-a-minute musical comedy that asks: can art save civilization? Dionysos and his sidekick Xanthias journey to Hades in search of answers, only to be confronted by a chorus of frogs determined to resist change.

The show is directed by Georgie Rankcom, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and is based on Aristophanes’ ancient comedy, freely adapted by Burt Shevelove and Nathan Lane.

       

Producers The Grey Area return to Southwark Playhouse Borough following their acclaimed 2022 production of Anyone Can Whistle.
