Casting Announced for New Musical TRIO

The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich have announced the full cast and creative team for the world premiere of the new intimate musical Trio, which runs at the theatre from 7-15 October.

This world premiere production will also have livestreamed performances on 14 & 15 October 2022.

Trio, set in a buzzing London recording studio; one piano, one guitar, three stools, three characters and a lifetime of love and passion, loyalty and betrayal, captured in songs, creating an album which will be their legacy.

It started at a glittering party back in the 80s. Ian, the top record producer, Phil, the rising pop star and Becca, the breezy studio receptionist with a glance across a crowded floor that sparked a blaze to last a lifetime.

The three look back on their entangled lives, asking could things have been different and perhaps, where did they go wrong?

The new intimate musical, with a new original score, is the latest by the creative team of Paul Sirett, Peter Rowe and Ben Goddard.

Trio will star Gina Murray (Chicago, Hairspray) as Becca, Ian McLarnon (Follies, Les Misérables) as Ian and Richard Costello (Death of England, Never Lost at Home) as Phil. Peter Rowe will direct the world premiere production with musical direction by Ben Goddard, set & costume design by Libby Watson, lighting by David Phillips, sound by James Cook and casting by Debbie O’Brien.
