An explosive and sexy rock musical is headed across to the West End this autumn, starring British-born Wicked and Cats alumnus Kerry Ellis alongside Ramin Karimloo. Follow the story of Sara, a young woman living on New York's Upper West Side, who finds that her past downtown threatens to draw her back into dangerous ways. A powerful tale of temptation and tangled love affairs, this will be lighting up the stage!
With a first-class creative team behind it, the musical was first conceived by Jonathan Larson Award winner and two-time Susan Smith at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2012-13. The book was written by Blackburn Prize finalist Julia Jordan, with lyrics and music written by singer/songwriter Juliana Nash.
The upcoming British production will be staged by Soundcheck Productions as part of their first season of shows; the company will be committed to staging theatre shows that are brand-new or haven't been staged in years, in order to encourage new talent both on stage, and behind the scenes.
