Casting announced for West End concert performances of BABIES – A NEW(BORN) BRITISH MUSICAL
Casting has been revealed for the staged concert performances of Babies, a brand-new British coming-of-age musical written by Jack Godfrey and directed by Martha Geelan, which will take place at London’s Lyric Theatre from 10-12 November.
The cast includes Chloe Bell (Babies, Workshop) as Grace, Jaina Brock-Patel (Eugenius, Turbine Theatre) as Becky, Lucy Carter (recent graduate) as Lulu, Lauren Conroy (The Sound of Music, Chichester Festival Theatre) as Jasmine, Jacob Dachtler (Mamma Mia The Party!, The O2) as Jacob, Ashley Goh (Fury & Elysium, The Other Palace) as Alex, Christian Maynard (Miss Saigon, Sheffield Crucible) as Ben, Morgan Philips (Babies, Workshop) as Toby, and Shakira Riddell-Morales (Babies, Workshop) as Leah.
Summer is over. Exams are looming. But Year 11 are only talking about one thing: babies. Not real ones...but the plastic simulator dolls they’ve been tasked with looking after for a whole entire week.
With a blistering pop-rock score, this new(born) British musical follows nine students as they discover that becoming a parent means changing more than just nappies. Friendships are tested, dreams are questioned, and the true meaning of responsibility rears its terrifying head.
Babies is a joy-filled, heart-wrenching comedy about growing out of growing up.
