Jermyn Street Theatre announces the cast for the UK premiere of the vintage off Broadway musical Boy Meets Boy. The line up comprises Stephen Ashfield, Craig Fletcher, Johnjo Flynn, Ben Kavanagh, Anna Nicholas and Benjamin Bailey, Carly Mackelvie, Gregory Sims, Biancha Szynal, Helen Turner, Jay Webb and Aron Wild.
The time: December 11th, 1936. The place: the elegant Savoy Hotel in London. Outside, the abdication crisis is reaching its climax, the United States reels from the Great Depression and Continental Europe is shadowed by the menace of Hitler and the National Socialist party as storm clouds gather for the maelstrom to come. Inside, society London exists in the twilight of empire - a hedonistic bubble where party-goers dance away the last years of peace. Boy Meets Boy is set against this backdrop of pre-war London sophistication, a world of cocktails and carriages, black-tie and ball-dresses where Nightingales Sing in Berkeley Square and unconventional romance blooms.
Boy meets Boy opened in 1975 off-Broadway at the Actors’ Playhouse and ran for 463 performances. This is its UK premiere.
Press night is set for 27th November 7.30pm. Jermyn Street Theatre is located at 16b Jermyn Street, London SW1Y 6ST. Piccadilly Circus tube. The show runs 21st November to 20th December, Tuesday to Saturday 7.30pm, with matinees Thursday/Saturday/Sunday 3.00pm (no matinee 22nd November).
