Will Nunziata and Ashley Jana's Figaro: An Original Musical makes its London concert debut at the London Palladium February 3 and 4. The work features songs by Jana and a concept and a book by Jana and Nunziata, the latter of whom is directing the concert performances.
Aimie Atkinson stars as Lucia, with Cayleigh Capaldi reprising her work as Sienna from the musical's studio cast album. Jon Robyns (The Phantom of the Opera, Les 惭颈蝉茅谤补产濒别蝉) is playing the title role.
The cast also includes Sophia Goodman (Matilda The Musical) as Amelia, Daniel Brocklebank (Coronation Street) as Antonio, Ava Brennan (Hamilton, Les 惭颈蝉茅谤补产濒别蝉, Lion King) as Gia, and Cian Service-Eagle (Oliver, Les 惭颈蝉茅谤补产濒别蝉, The Witches) as Gianni. Maggie Solimine is in the ensemble and serves as a standby. Casting is by Harry Blumenau.
The new work follows a young singer whose chance encounter with two young orphans and the handsome Figaro may just give her the chance to escape her formerly dull life on her father's farm and make all her dreams come true. A studio album of the score was recently released.
This concert production features choreography by Jo Goodwin, music direction by Caitlin Morgan, costume design by Sophia Pardon, set design by Justin Williams, and lighting design by Alex Musgrave.
Michael Lamon and 23 Productions are serving as lead producers, with Van Dean as executive producer, Andrew Byrnes and Witzend Productions as co-producers, and Carter Dixon McGill Productions as general manager.
