The full cast has been announced for the return of British musical Eugenius! for a six-week season at The Other Palace from 1 September 2018. Returning to the cast are: Laura Baldwin (Big Fish The Musical) as Eugene’s love interest Janey; Daniel Buckley (The Book Of Mormon, Loserville) as Feris; Scott Paige (The Addams Family, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Theo; and Alison Arnopp (the title role in Dusty) as Space Diva/Mrs Truthstretcher.
Joining them
Producer Warwick Davis, the legendary Star Wars and Harry Potter actor, said:
“We are so thrilled to finally reveal our new cast – we have some of the most exciting young stars who have already played some of the biggest roles in the most successful West End musical hits. They are going to help take our show into another dimension.
“At the beginning of the year, Eugenius! had a buzz-filled, triumphant six-week premiere at The Other Palace. Since then we’ve been busy tweaking, tickling, tightening and super-charging the show. So if you missed Eugenius! last time this is your chance to finally see what the buzz is all about.”
The rest of the cast
Eugenius!, with book, music and lyrics by Ben Adams and Chris Wilkins, is the story of Eugene, a teenage boy whose nightly dreams of a distant world of heroes and villains could be the ticket to him creating his very own comic book movie in Hollywood. Joined on his amazing adventures by best friends Janey and Feris, the comic writing genius finds the superhero within, saves the world from earthbound villains – and those from distant galaxies – and along the way, falls in love!
Director Ian Talbot is joined in the creative team by assistant director Anthony Houghton, musical supervisor Stuart Morley, musical director Darren Lord, choreographer Aaron Renfree, lighting designer Andrew Ellis, original sound designer Gareth Owen, sound designer Dan Samson, associate sound designer David Beckham, set and costume designer Hannah Wolfe, casting director Jim Arnold and creative consultant Michael Jibson.
