Full casting announced for workshop performances of new musical MONA LOSER
Full casting has been announced for the latest workshop performances of Mona Loser, a new musical with an original pop score by British writing duo Kit Buchan and Jim Barne, directed by Tony-nominee Tim Jackson, which run at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 2-5 September.
The cast includes: Ako Mitchell (Mean Girls, West End), Annabel Marlow (SIX, Edinburgh Festival Fringe), Carla Dixon-Hernandez (Something Rotten!, Manchester Opera House), Chad Saint Louis (50 First Dates, The Other Palace), Kayna Montecillo (Ride the Cyclone, Southwark Playhouse Elephant), Nic Myers (Brigadoon, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre), Obioma Ugoala (Frozen, West End), and Steven Webb (Shucked, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre).
Produced by Tim Johanson Productions, with Birmingham Hippodrome, Mona Loser is a contemporary musical set in the music industry about viral fame, fakery and identity, drawing inspiration from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the modern monsters created both on and offline.
Following workshops at Southwark Playhouse Borough (The Little auditorium) in 2025 and Birmingham Hippodrome earlier this year, this next of workshops for Mona Loser will offer audiences another opportunity to be some of the first to get a glimpse at this new musical-in-development. These workshops marked the beginning of the creation and development process which is supported by Birmingham Hippodrome’s New Musical Theatre Department, a department dedicated to championing original British musical theatre.
