During MCM Comic Con London last weekend I learnt
about brand new British musical ‘Eugenius’ which holds its world premiere at
the London Palladium this June. Take a read below for all the info for this performance.
It sounds fantastic! Make sure you get yourself tickets to check it out for
yourself!
BRAND NEW BRITISH
MUSICAL “EUGENIUS!” TO HOLD ITS WORLD PREMIERE AT THE LONDON PALLADIUM THIS
JUNE IN CONCERT PERFORMANCE
STARRING:
WARWICK DAVIS
DAVID BEDELLA
AMY LENNOX
AND SUMMER STRALLEN
WITH NARRATION BY MARCUS
BRIGSTOCKE
A concert premiere performance
of the new, original British musical EUGENIUS! will take place on 29 June
2016 at the London Palladium. This exciting and innovative musical is produced
by (and stars) actor Warwick Davis. Joining the Harry Potter and Star Wars
favourite will be a host of musical theatre stars including double Olivier
Award-winner David Bedella (In The Heights, Jerry Springer, The Opera,
The Rocky Horror Show), Amy Lennox
(Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde), Samuel Holmes (Mrs Henderson Presents, Spamalot) and Summer Strallen (Sound of Music, Love Never Dies).
Comedian Marcus Brigstocke will join
the cast as the Narrator and Brian
Blessed will provide a guest voiceover.
Set in the 1980s, EUGENIUS! is a classic love
story between two teenagers, Eugene and Janey.
She is in love with him, but he always has his head inside a comic book
– so much so that he actually writes his own comic about a superhero. Against the odds, Eugene’s creations take him
to Hollywood and he becomes the unlikely hero of his own intergalactic battle!
The musical has an original score based on the sounds of the 1980s, with a
story which hilariously merges real life and the intergalactic world of the comic
book.
The book,
music and lyrics for EUGENIUS! have been written by Ben Adams and Chris Wilkins. The concert
premiere performance will be directed by award winner Ian Talbot and Olivier Award nominee Michael Jibson. Choreography will be by Aaron Renfree and Nick
Winston. The sound designer for the
performance will be multi-award winner, Gareth
Owen. Lighting will be by Andrew Ellis, with musical supervision
by Steve Power and musical direction
by Nathan Jarvis.
Producer Warwick Davis said, “We are really excited to be bringing a brand
new, original production to the London stage. The performance on 29 June will
give the audience a chance to experience this new ‘80s-inspired musical before
it is staged in the West End as a full production next year. We have a hugely
talented cast and production team, and the music is just phenomenal. We look
forward to sharing our work with the first, lucky audience at the London
Palladium this June.”
EUGENIUS! will be presented in a
concert version for one night only at the London Palladium on Wednesday 29
June 2016.
