Casting announced for ROAD SHOW at Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Casting has been announced for Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Road Show, which plays Upstairs at the Gatehouse from 12 December 2024 - 12 January 2025.
At the dawn of the 20th century, two brothers driven by their dying father’s charge to seize the boundless opportunities of the New World set off to find their fortune.
From the frenzy of the Gold Rush to the real estate boom in Florida, Sondheim and Weidman’s complex, catchy, and darkly funny tale based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers chronicles the curdling of the American Dream.
The cast includes Reece Richardson (French Toast, Riverside Studios) as Wilson Mizner, Oliver Sidney (You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, Upstairs at the Gatehouse) as Addison Mizner, Robert Finlayson (Opening Night, West End) as Papa, Katherine Strohmaier (London stage debut) as Mama, and Rhys Lambert (Dorian: The Musical, Southwark Playhouse) as Hollis Bessemer, with Folarin Akinmade (The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale, The Watermill), Madeleine Morgan (recent graduate), and Emily Friberg (musical theatre debut) in the ensemble.
The production is directed and choreographed by Amanda Noar, with musical direction by Harry Style, set design Ruby Boswell-Green, costumes Holly Chapman, and lighting by Simon Jackson.
