Danielle Steers joins cast of new musical FURY AND ELYSIUM

It has been announced that Danielle Steers (The Cher Show, UK tour; Six, West End) will complete the cast of queer, revolutionary musical Fury and Elysium, which plays at The Other Palace Studio from 6-18 June.

Steers joins the previously announced Iz Hesketh, Rosie Yadid, Ashley Goh, Maya Kristal Tenenbaum and Michal Horowicz, and Charlotte Clitherow (Zorro, Cadogan Hall) features as swing/standby.  

Directed by Rafaella Marcus and Karoline Gable, this epic new production explores queer culture and the fascinating lives of three very different Jewish women coming from the worlds of expressionist art, political agitation and the drag king scene. Fury and Elysium has a book by Stephanie Martin, and music and lyrics by renowned singer-songwriter Calista Kazuko Georget.  

Co-director Rafaella Marcus said: “I’m thrilled to be working on this new musical about some of  the extraordinary Jewish, queer and trans people who lived and made art in the darkest of times.  I can’t wait to bring Stephanie and Calista’s bold, furious, playful work to audiences who in turn  might be inspired to find resistance in art, together with my co-director Karoline and this  fantastic cast of Jewish and queer artists.”

Karoline Gable adds: “It feels as important as ever to celebrate the many different forms resistance can take, and to investigate how fury, intersectional solidarity and artistic expression  as a radical act can become a life line. I can’t wait to go on this journey together with Rafaella  and this truly exciting cast of trailblazing artists.”
