Full cast and creative team announced for new musical KIN

The full cast and creative team have been announced for new British musical Kin’s staged concert run at Theatro Technis from 28 October-5 November, with four extra performances added to the run due to popular demand.

When a controversial cult leader buys an old ranch in a small town in southern America, tensions with the local townsfolk reach boiling point! As the conflict escalates, the shocking depths of their clash are exposed, with a startling revelation: Noah, the mayor's son, has found himself entangled in the cult's grip.

Inspired by true events that took place in 1980s America and featuring an original 1980s pop-inspired score, the musical written by Emil Dale & Stefan Kelk will be performed in a staged concert form in the King’s Cross based converted church in London.

Joining the previously announced Joseph Peacock (Titanic the Musical, UK tour) as Noah are Sophie-Rose Middleton (Cats, International Tour & Taiwan) as Cora, Emma Kingston (The Band’s Visit, Donmar Warehouse) as Maraliyn, Adam Robert Lewis (Les Misérables, West End) as Terrance, Carrie Sutton (Sister Act, West End) as Marge, Sam Wells (Kin The Musical Concert, The Other Palace) as Kirk, Anthony Selwyn (Bat Out Of Hell, Manchester, London & Toronto) as Turtle, Athena Collins (SIX, West End & UK Tour) as Afifa, Dianté Lodge (Matilda The Musical, West End) as Travis, Cassius and Dance Captain, Jordan Laviniere (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End) as Jimmy/Daxen, Chrissy Brooke (Dr Semmelweis, West End) as Doreen/Ivy, Deena Kapadia (Death Note: In Concert, West End) as Colleen/Acer, and Leesa Tulley (SIX, UK tour & West End) as Ensemble/First Cover Cora, Marilyn and Marge. Young performers Liliana Argenio and Isla Ithier will share the role of Thea, with Oscar Hubble playing the role of Joe.

The creative team is comprised of director Emil Dale, choreographer Shay Barclay, musical supervisor Pete Mitchell, set designer Justin Williams, lighting designer Alex Musgrave, sound designer Steve Jonas, costume designer Reuben Speed, and casting by Claire Cassidy for Debbie O’Brien Casting.
