Casting announced for TARANTINO LIVE at Riverside Studios

Casting has been announced for Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men, which premieres at Riverside Studios from 6 June–13 August. 

The show is a one-of-a-kind, adrenaline-fuelled, genre-bending theatrical performance, combining Tarantino’s most iconic film scenes with live rock 'n' roll renditions of songs pulled straight from his legendary film albums; less a traditional movie-based musical, more a character driven concert that seamlessly merges the world of Hollywood and musical theatre into a 360-degree live-concert experience.

Follow the “Fox Force Five”—a group of fierce female superwomen popularized by Pulp Fiction—as they join forces to take care of business and fight the Tyranny of Evil Men with Tarantino’s quintessential soundtrack in the background.

The cinematic, rock’n’roll playground stars actress and singer/songwriter Tara Lee leads ‘THE FOX FORCE FIVE’ as Mia from Pulp Fiction (and her alter ego Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill). She’s joined by two-time Olivier Award-winner George Maguire (Bonnie & Clyde, West End) as Vincent (a mashup of Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction, Rick Dalton’ from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs), Karen Mav (Dreamgirls, West End) as the iconic Jackie Brown, X Factor UK favourite Anton Stephans as Jules from Pulp Fiction (also plays Ordell from Jackie Brown), chart-topping singer of Artful Dodger Lifford Shillingford as Marsellus from Pulp Fiction (also plays Django from Django Unchained), Mark Isherwood (Jersey Boys, West End) as Bill (a mix of the title character from Kill Bill,  Col. Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds, and two Stuntmen: Mike from Death Proof and Cliff from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), and James Byous as Butch from Pulp Fiction (also plays Lt. Aldo Raine from Inglourious Basterds and Dr. King Schultz from Django Unchained). 

The other ‘FOXES’ will be brought to life by the powerhouse vocals of Maeva Feitelson as Fabienne from Pulp Fiction (also plays her alter ego Shosanna Dreyfus from Inglourious Basterds), Cleo Caetano as Butterfly from Death Proof (and her alter ego Santanico Pandemonium from From Dusk Till Dawn), Sha Dessi as O-ren Ishii from Kill Bill (also plays Pussycat from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Katie Tonkinson as Sadie from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Samara Casteallo as Nikki (inspired by Vernita Green’s daughter in Kill Bill, the imagined hero of a future Kill Bill 3).

Battling alongside the ‘FOXES’ are dynamos Ben Mabberley as Tex from Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, and Samuel Nicholas as Marvin from Pulp Fiction.

The vintage rock band of Reservoir Dogs is lead by Alexander Zane playing the role of Clarence (inspired by QT’s very first film My Best Friend’s Birthday, and first Hollywood script True Romance).
