Ahead of Company in the West End, Rosalie Craig will reprise her award-winning musical performance in Tori Amos musical The Light Princess, for one night only in concert alongside her real-life husband and fellow #StageFave, Hadley Fraser...
The Light Princess from Tori Amos and Samuel Adamson will receive its first-ever concert performance this summer. Rosalie Craig reprises her role of Althea, for which she won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical Performance and her real-life husband Hadley Fraser will play Digby.
Both husband and wife are currently appearing in the West End, starring, respectively, in Young Frankenstein and Jez Butterworth's award-winning play The Ferryman. Later this year, Craig plays the first-ever female Bobbi in Marianne Elliot's revival of Stephen Sondheim's Company.
Directed by Paul Foster, The Light Princess concert takes place at Cadogan Hall on Sunday 1 July 2018. Further casting is to be announced. The concert is presented by Club 11 London and Alex Parker Theatre Company.
Based on the Scottish fairy tale by George MacDonald, The Light Princess tells the story of a princess afflicted by a constant weightlessness, unable to get her feet on the ground, both literally and metaphorically, until she finds a love that brings her down to earth.
Rosalie Craig said today: “It’s so wonderful to have the opportunity to revisit this incredible piece five years on. It is hugely special to me and it will be a joy to hear it and sing it again after all this time.”
Samuel Adamson commented: “I’m thrilled that The Light Princess is going to float again this July in a concert produced by Club 11 London and Alex Parker Theatre Company. I can’t wait to hear the incomparable Rosalie Craig sing the role of the princess again – and who better to be her prince than Hadley Fraser?”
