Award-winning actress Dylan Mulvaney (Attitude’s Woman of the Year 2023, a Forbes 30 Under 30 Honouree, and star of one-woman show FAGHAG) will join the exceptional cast bringing Drew Gasparini’s WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE to life at the Savoy Theatre on 28 April 2025.

Together with Sam Tutty, Aimie Atkinson, and two more cast members yet to be announced, this new contemporary musical is a heartfelt exploration of our shared journey through life, and how its key moments shape us all. This highly anticipated premiere of WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE will be promptly followed by a second act showcasing Gasparini in concert.

Joined by the cast and special invited guests, Gasparini will present a selection of his most iconic work, spanning his vibrant musical career and paying homage to his own journey bringing this musical to the stage. What began as an autobiographical tale has evolved into a poignant exploration of the complex universal experience of navigating our path through life and the connections we make along the way.

Known for her viral series Days of Girlhood, which received more than one billion views across all platforms, and honoured on the Out 100 List, Dylan Mulvaney will bring one of the five intricate narratives to life. She said: “I cannot wait to make my West End concert debut with such an inventive show and team. Theatre is my greatest love in life and I’m so happy to be doing what I love in my favourite city!

Told from five unique perspectives spanning age, generation and gender, this uplifting musical explores the complex and often challenging journey we face when we embark on the pursuit of a dream. Unravelling the rich emotional tapestry of life, WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE considers the series of choices we all make as we navigate this uncertainty and reminds us that, no matter where we come from, growing up is one uncertain step after another, punctuated by moments of discovery. This performance follows a successful workshop in June 2024, which marked the first stage presentation of Gasparini’s viral concept album WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE. Demonstrating a range of styles, including pop, rock and country, WE AREN’T KIDS ANYMORE celebrates the versatility of musical theatre when the conventional rules are broken.

The rest of the cast joining Dylan Mulvaney, Sam Tutty and Aimie Atkinson are soon to be announced.
