Jamie Bogyo and Glenn Adamson to star in shocking new glam-rock musical STOKER WILDE
It has been announced that Jamie Bogyo (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, West End) and Glenn Adamson (Bat Out Of Hell, West End/touring) will star as literary icons Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde respectively in STOKER WILDE, the shocking new glam-rock musical playing seven performances only at Wilton’s Music Hall from 27–31 October.
They will be joined by Christina Bennington (Heathers, West End) as Florence Stoker, Jemma Geanaus (Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, West End) as Ellen Terry, Matt Rixon (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, West End) as Walt Whitman, Oliver Stockley (Oh, Mary!, West End) as Lord Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas, with three-time Olivier Award winner David Bedella (Jerry Springer: The Opera) completing the cast as Henry Irving.
Two legendary writers. Two iconic monsters. One explosive, secret rivalry.
Before they transformed British theatre and defined queer horror, Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde were just two Dublin boys who ran away to London. There, they navigated secret and not-so-secret gay lives, climbed the ladders of society and culture, and fuelled a fierce, overlooked rivalry that birthed Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
The musical has a book & lyrics by Eric Rosen, creator of the cult classic Venice, and music & lyrics by Rodney Bush of New York glam-rock band Tony & The Kiki, whose music blends gritty NYC glamour, disco decadence and high-voltage rock.
This 90-minute, one-act developmental concert sharing is directed by Séimí Campbell, an Irish theatre director based in London.
This Halloween, audiences are invited to be there at the beginning and discover the untold story of STOKER WILDE at one of the world’s oldest surviving grand music halls.
