West End's Duchess Theatre in London has announced the new cast for The Play That Goes Wrong. The Oliver Award-winning work will see Tomisin Ajani as Trevor, Jo Ben Ayed as Dennis, and Ashh Blackwood as Annie beginning April 5.
Also featured in the cast is Anya de Villiers as Sandra, Tendai Humphrey Sitima as Robert, Scott Hunter as Max, Oliver Mott as Jonathan, and Mikhail Sen as Chris. Roisin Fahey, Charlie Richards, Stuart Vincent, Emily Waters, and Jack Whittle complete the cast.
The Play That Goes Wronghas been running in London since 2012, and at the Duchess Theatre since 2014. In addition to its London production, it is currently running Off-Broadway at New World Stages and is embarking on a North American tour through July 10.
The show iswritten by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, who all appeared in the original West End and Broadway casts. The production features original music by Rob Falconer and direction by Mark Bell, leading a creative team that includes Tony winner Nigel Hook as set designer, Roberto Surace as costume designer, Ric Mountjoy as lighting designer, and Andy Johnson as sound designer.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
The recording will be available on standard black vinyl, a limited-edition deluxe gatefold "pop-up" vinyl, and compact disc alongside digital versions.
The musical, a reinvention of Tim Burton’s cult classic film Edward Scissorhands, uses the pop music of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morissette, and more.
