Casting announced for I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL at The Other Palace
The cast of the outrageous new 80's horror comedy rock musical I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL, transferring off-West End from Edinburgh Festival Fringe to London’s The Other Palace Studio from 2 - 26 April, has been announced.
Backed by Tony-nominated co-producers of Broadway’s Operation Mincemeat, Feuille Dooley Productions, the show will spook London audiences in a non-stop, big laugh, high-voltage production from the mind of writer Sean Matthew Whiteford and director-choreographer Rachel Klein.
The cast for this hotly anticipated run includes a mix of new faces and returning cast. Reprising their roles are: Sean Arkless (I Am Harvey Milk) as Satan, Caitlin Anderson (Wicked, West End) as Tiffani, Charis Stockton (Aladdin; Snow White) as Heather, and Louis Hearsey (Beauty and the Beast) as Todd. Joining the cast are: Aoife Haakenson (SIX, UK & International tour) as Nancy, Jordan Fox (Frozen, West End) as Rod, Ashley Goh (Babies, West End concert) as Debbie, and Jacob Birch (Disney’s Maleficent) as Doobie.
I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL is a queer 80s high school horror-comedy with an electrifying original rock score. After one humiliation too many, four-eyed wallflower Nancy Nelson cries out to the heavens for help – but it’s Satan, in full glam-metal glory, who answers, transforming her into a big-haired, foul-mouthed rocker babe with a taste for the souls of her tormentors. Outrageous, laugh-out-loud funny, with an undeniably heartfelt queer love story, I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL is an 80s horror fever dream come to life on stage.
Also landing just in time for a sneaky first-listen, the concept album for I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL was released on all major streaming platforms on 14 February.
The studio cast recording - produced and recorded at Whiteford’s home studio in Catskill, NY - features two-time Grammy Award winning artist Tamika Lawrence as Nancy, Giuliana DePietro as Debbie, Adam Ezegelian as Doobie, Cai Campbell as Tiffani, Hannah Bonnett as Heather, Gene Taylor as Todd, rocker/comedian Paul Saylor as Big Rod, and the creator Sean Matthew Whiteford as Satan.
Sean Matthew Whiteford said: “Our London cast for I WAS A TEENAGE SHE-DEVIL is truly fantastic! I can’t wait to see what this talented bunch brings to our high-octane, feel-good show. I’m also excited that the whole world can now hear the show’s music. This album was a major labor of love and creativity.”
