New British jazz musical THE JAZZ SECTION to play at Union Theatre

After a sell-out run at Camden Fringe and Cambridge, new British jazz musical The Jazz Section is back for a week-long run at  London’s Union Theatre from 19-23 October. 

The musical is based on the true story of Karel Srp’s and Vladimir Kouril’s jazz revolution and has a book, music & lyrics by Joy Gingell, Laurence Stannard & Mariam Abdel-Razek. 

In 1980s Prague, nothing is more dangerous than jazz — but Dansky just can’t stop listening to it.  Tired of being controlled by the hard-line Communist authorities and fascinated by a culture he’s  never known, Dansky finds himself drawn into the Jazz Section, an elusive group of musicians who  have banded together to fight against censorship. 

This new actor-muso jazz spectacular will feature Arthur Goggin as Karel Srp, Paul Storrs as Vladimir Kouril,  Lydia Clay-White as Emili, Fintan Quinn as Dansky and Rachel Oyawale as Masita; with direction by Joy Gingell, musical direction by Laurence Stannard and lighting by Chloe Stally-Gibson.
