First full production of RIDE to be presented at Charing Cross Theatre

The first full production of the award-winning new musical Ride will be held at Charing Cross Theatre from 25 August-17 September, it has been announced.

The cast includes Liv Andrusier (Little Women, Park Theatre) as Annie Londonderry, Yuki Sutton (Tokyo Rose, Southwark Playhouse and tour) as Martha, and Amy Parker (Ride, Vaults Festival) as Alternate Annie/Cover Martha.

It’s 1895 and Annie Londonderry has returned victorious to America, hailed as the first woman ever to cycle around the world. She’s pioneering, she’s plucky, and she’s pitching her story to the men who run the newspapers.

From the infamous wager that set her journey in motion, to her freewheeling adventures with captains, cowboys, and customs officials, Annie just knows her tales will spin readers into a frenzy.

But as she approaches rough terrain, and unexpected paths throw her off balance, can Annie regain her footing, or will she confront the past she left behind?

This new musical by Freya Catrin Smith and Jack Williams, directed by Sarah Meadows, charts one woman’s radical act and explores the lies we tell to escape ourselves.

The production is designed by Amy Jane Cook, movement and choreography by Natasha Harrison, musical direction by Sam Young, orchestrations by Macy Schmidt, lighting by Jamie Platt, and sound by Andy Johnson.
