Jermyn Street Theatre have announced the cast of the opening production of their Outsiders season, Stephen Dolginoff’s Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story, running from 13 January-5 February 2022.

This dark and thrilling musical two-hander will feature Bart Lambert as Nathan Leopold and Jack Reitman as Richard Loeb. Lambert and Reitman were joint winners of the OffWestEnd Award 2020 for Best Male Performance in a Musical for their roles in The Hope Theatre run of Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story.

Directed by former artistic director of The Hope Theatre, Matthew Parker, Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story is a musical story of masochism and murder.

Set in Chicago in 1924, Richard Loeb is obsessed with crime and Nathan Leopold is obsessed with Richard. High on adrenaline, the two leave a trail of arson, theft, and vandalism in their wake. But Richard wants to take a step further - a step that will test Nathan’s loyalty to the limit. Can they commit the ultimate crime: a perfect murder? 

Jermyn Street Theatre Artistic Director Tom Littler said: “We're excited to kick off our Outsiders Season with our first musical for a long time. Thrill Me is perfectly suited to our chamber space and features two magnetic performances in this dark and gripping story."
