The Mad Ones Transfers to London’s The Other Palace Studio

Following a 5-Star run at the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham last April, The Mad Ones will transfer to The Other Palace Studio for a four-week run in May 2025, where it will make it’s London debut.

The musical, which was an instant viral hit on YouTube, tells the tale of Samantha Brown – a senior in high school who, after the tragic death of her vivacious best friend Kelly in a car wreck, loses not only her closest confidante, but also the part of herself that was learning to be brave. Now, Sam has to make a decision: to follow the path her mother has set out for her, or to summon the courage to drive away from her friends and family into a future she can scarcely imagine.

Featuring music by Bree Lowdermilk, with book and lyrics by Kait Kerrigan, this touching and hilarious musical traverses the complexities of mother-daughter dynamics and the universal experience of high school relationships, and will have its audience members connecting with the true meaning of ‘Freedom’ (and perhaps even asking each other to ‘Run Away with Me’!)

       

This announcement comes hot on the heels of news that Kerrigan’s The Great Gatsby will be transferring to the West End from Broadway next April, which means a double whammy of London shows for the Broadway Lyricist and book writer next spring.

The Mad Ones, formerly known as The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown, opened off-Broadway (Prospect Theater Company at 59E59) on November 17, 2017.

Even before licensing rights became available in December 2019, The Mad Ones sold 15,000+ individual pieces of digital sheet music, amassed millions of YouTube views, and inspired thousands of fan videos.

THE MAD ONES is helmed by director Emily Susanne Lloyd, with musical direction by Callum Thompson, and artwork by Tom Mann of Ghostlight Studios.

The show’s Producer, Samantha Creswick, says “We are so proud and excited to be bringing this show to a London audience, and connecting with a wider group of fans, many of whom have been listening to it in their bedrooms and cars since before the pandemic! It’s such a rich and resonant coming-of-age story that is perhaps even more relevant to audiences now than when it was first written, and we couldn’t be more proud to have found its perfect home in The Other Palace Studio.”
