They're already celebrating a collective Olivier Award nomination (tune in Sunday to see if they win). Now five #StageFaves from the original cast of OUR LADIES OF PERPETUAL SUCCOUR can also look forward to their West End debuts as they're confirmed to accompany the National Theatre of Scotland production as it transfers next month to the Duke of York's Theatre...
Full casting has been announced for the West End run of Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, which transfers to the Duke of York’s Theatre this spring following a critically-acclaimed opening at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, subsequent UK tour and sell-out run last summer at the National Theatre. The production opens at the Duke of York’s Theatre on 15 May 2017, with previews from 9 May.
Olivier Award-nominated for Best New Comedy and Best Supporting Actress for the entire company, Vicky Featherstone’s smash-hit production of Lee Hall’s adaptation of Alan Warner’s The Sopranos sees original cast members Caroline Deyga (Chell), Karen Fishwick (Kay), Kirsty MacLaren (Manda), Frances Mayli McCann (Kylah) and Dawn Sievewright (Fionnula) reprise their roles, with Isis Hainsworth joining the company as Orla.
Joining the company on stage are: Amy Shackcloth (Musical Director/Keyboard), Lilly Howard (Assistant Musical Director/Keyboard), Emily Linden (Guitar) and Becky Brass (Percussion).
From the creator of Billy Elliot (Lee Hall) comes the uplifting and moving story of six Catholic school girls from Oban, let loose in Edinburgh for the day. Funny, raucous and heart-breaking, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour is adapted from Alan Warner’s brilliant novel about six young friends on the cusp of change. Featuring, amongst others, the songs of ELO, Our Ladies is a glorious anthem to friendship, youth and growing up disgracefully.
Winner of a Scotsman Fringe First Award, a Herald Angel Award, a Little Devil Herald Award and a Stage Ensemble Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2015, the production also received a Tonic Award at the inaugural awards just last week. Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour is a co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and Live Theatre, and presented in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Scott M. Delman, Gail Berman Theatricals and Tulchin Bartner Productions in association with William Court Cohen, Ashley M. DeSimone & Jeremiah J. Harris.
