WEST END INTRODUCING announces cast for debut live show at Lyric Theatre
West End Introducing has announced the cast for their debut live show at London’s Lyric Theatre on 30 June.
Musical theatre stars Laura Pick, Adrian Hansel and Elena Breschi will be joined by Dom Hartley-Harris, Rebekah Lowings, Kayla Carter, Rhiannon Chesterman, Alexander Evans, Daniel Jagusz-Holley and Charlotte O'Rourke.
Performing alongside them and the ten-piece live band will be industry newcomers Chris Cahill, Helaina Cole, Stephanie Costi, Lou Destanque, Ellen Eckersley, Maia Gough, Hannah Greensmith, Billy Marsden, Aimée McQueen and Ajay Sahota, who have all previously appeared in the West End Introducing online series.
Established post-pandemic as a platform for new talent to network with and perform alongside established musical theatre performers, this will mark West End Introducing's first live concert. The online series has been running for almost three years now and in that time has spawned newcomers who have since gone on to star in such world-class productions as Pretty Woman, School of Rock and Heathers.
Artistic Director of West End Introducing, Kai Wright, said: "Creating this new space for up and coming talent has been one of the most rewarding projects I've ever had the privilege to work on, and moving this into the live arena with the help of our friends at Nimax Theatres is a huge next step for us. Having the platform to not only promote new talent, but also provide tangible opportunities to perform live in London's legendary theatre district, in what will be a debut professional appearance for many taking part, is something I'm really proud to be a part of!"
Making up the creative team are music supervisor Felix Sürbe, musical director Bianca Fung, sound designer Jason Fenn, and lighting designer Max Sharp.
