Perform Productions have announced the cast and creative team for the West End premiere of Magical Merlin at the Fortune Theatre from 24-30 October.

West End favourite Ben Stock (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) plays the lead role of Merlin, with Stuart Maciver (Wicked, Evita) as Lancelot. They are joined by a talented line-up of Lydia Abbotts as Guinevere, Lizzie Buckingham as Morgan, Jordan Donnelly as Dustman, Farirayi Garaba as Swing and Claire Lee Shenfield as Mildred.  

Magical Merlin is written and composed by Will Barnett, with direction by Kirk Jameson, choreography by Khiley Williams, design by Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting by Andrew Ellis, sound by Tom Marshall, and magic consultancy by Scott Penrose.

Magical Merlin features a mix of magic, songs and dancing, as well as uplifting themes of teamwork and self-belief. The show is set in Ancient Britain, a wild world of witches and wizards where Magical Merlin’s miraculous powers rule supreme. When the baby King Arthur is born and jealous older sister, Morgan Le Fay, starts turning people into animals, it’s down to Merlin to save the day.
