Stellar cast lead UK premiere of new musical SAVING MOZART at The Other Palace
MCG Productions have announced that the UK premiere of the new musical Saving Mozart by Charli Eglington will play at London’s The Other Palace from 28 July - 30 August.
The production features a stellar cast of musical theatre superstars including Aimie Atkinson (SIX, Pretty Woman) as Nannerl, Jack Chambers (Stiletto, The Strange Affair of Herschel Grynspan) as Mozart, Erin Caldwell (SIX, Heathers) as Constanze, Jordan Luke Gage (Titanique, & Juliet) as Salieri, and Douglas Hansell (Stiletto, Come From Away) as Leopold.
Aimie Atkinson said: “It’s a real pleasure to be stepping into the leading role of Nannerl in this extraordinary new musical, Saving Mozart, at the home of new musicals, The Other Palace. I'm so excited to work again with Charli and to sing her incredible music. I can’t wait to share this brilliant brand-new work with audiences this Summer.”
They are joined by an ensemble cast featuring Sveva Bartolini, Harriette Benazir-White, Corey Mitchell and Alfie Simmons. Further members of the ensemble are to be announced.
Child prodigy. Musical rebel. Outcast. Icon. Step into the mind of a genius—and meet the extraordinary women who shaped, challenged, and ultimately saved him.
Inspired by Nannerl, the sister who played before he did. Driven by Leopold, the father who demanded perfection. Resurrected by Constanze, the wife who refused to let the world forget. Shunned by society. Fuelled by brilliance. This is the Mozart you’ve never met—raw, human, electric. Saving Mozart is a bold new musical based on a powerful true story of passion, defiance, and music that refused to die.
Earning multiple five-star reviews and widespread critical acclaim, the production celebrated its world premiere earlier this year in Gmunden, Austria - just outside Mozart’s birthplace - in association with Musical Frühling in Gmunden.
Joining writer and composer Charli Eglinton on the creative team are director Markus Olzinger, choreographer Taylor Walker, costume designer Julia Pschedezki, set designer Justin Williams, lighting designer Ben Jacobs, and casting director Ben Armstrong. Further members of the creative team are to be announced.
