New British musical Best Of Friends, with book, music and lyrics by Nick Fogarty, will finally get its London premiere at the Landor Theatre.
Directed by the venue’s artistic director, Robert McWhir, Best Of Friends opens on Saturday 26th April (previews from 23rd April) and runs until Saturday 10th May 2014.
Best of Friends was supposed to premiere in London last summer as The Golden Voice, starring Darren Day. Scheduled to open at the Arts Theatre, it was delayed multiple times before it was eventually cancelled. Actors’ union Equity then launched legal action in an attempt to claim back unpaid cast wages. The show’s producer, Rob Hewitt, was recently arrested on suspicion of fraud and he is not be involved in Best of Friends.
Writer Nick Fogarty, who spent eight years of his life developing the musical, is now staging the show with five actors instead of the original 20 and will see some original members of the cast and creative team return. There are hopes to transfer it to the Arts Theatre.
The cast includes Aidan O’Neill, Alex James Ellison, Nick Fogarty, Rosie Glossop, Sarah Goggin, Serena Giacomini and Dean Kilford..
