Cast announced for WORLD’S GREATEST LOVER at The Other Palace
Following its New York debut and an acclaimed, award-winning run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, the electrifying pop-rock musical World’s Greatest Lover transfers to The Other Palace from 12 April - 7 June.
The full cast includes X Factor winners Matt Terry and Dalton Harris as CDB and Val respectively, alongside Union J star Jaymi Hensley as Sade, and West End favourites Joaquin Pedro Valdes as Romeo, Leonardo Vieira as Caz, and Alex Hayden (off-stage swing).
A bold, high-energy pop-rock musical, World’s Greatest Lover features music and book by Julien Salvia, with lyrics and book by Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal. The long-standing writing partnership has created award-winning and record-breaking shows seen around the world for over 15 years, including the Marius Award-winning The Prince & The Pauper and the Trophées de la Comédie Musical-nominated The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Their work extends beyond the stage to screenwriting on Living with Dad (M6), with their most recent songwriting credit being the Luxembourg’s 2025 Eurovision Song Finalist.
The production is directed and choreographed by Broadway’s Joshua Bergasse, with set design by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by David Woolard, lighting by Jason Lyons, and casting by Rob Kelly.
World’s Greatest Lover brings together the most iconic romantics in history in a witty, irreverent and unexpectedly heartfelt exploration of love, desire and identity, asking what it truly means to be the greatest lover of all time. With explosive choreography and a sensational pop-powered score, Romeo, Casanova, Cyrano de Bergerac and the Marquis de Sade collide in a wildly entertaining, no-holds-barred battle to uncover the truth about love. Seductive, hilarious and surprisingly moving, World’s Greatest Lover is as heartfelt as it is outrageous. Prepare to be seduced…
This London production brings the show’s infectious score, muscular choreography and razor-sharp wit to the capital.
Direct from New York, produced by Broadway International Group, Marc Routh and Simone Genatt, WORLD’S GREATEST LOVER is a smart, funny and irresistible new show about romance, reputation, and what happens when the greatest lovers of all time discover they may not understand love at all.
Producers Marc Routh and Simone Genatt said: “World’s Greatest Lover is a wildly entertaining showdown among the hottest lovers of all time. The premise is wonderfully absurd and witty punctuated by sizzling choreography by Joshua Bergasse with a powerful boyband pop score. This new musical is seductive and electric and just might make you fall in love all over again. We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing World’s Greatest Lover to the Other Palace this Spring.”
