The exciting full ‘Super-Power’ cast have been announced for SuperYou The Musical in Concert, which plays at the Lyric Theatre on 15 November.

SuperYou centres around the transformative journey of a comic book artist who discovers self-love and her own voice as her superheroine creations spring to life.

The musical’s score is a dynamic rock soundtrack that seamlessly incorporates a wide range of musical styles, including pop, hip hop, swing, blues, gospel, country, and soulful power ballads.

By delving into themes of discovering inner strength, while fostering acceptance, inclusivity, and celebrating kindness, both towards others and, crucially, oneself, SuperYou is conveyed through poignant dialogue and modern, instantly memorable music, making it a tale that feels particularly relevant and timely in today’s world.

Hunter, music supervision by Wendy Bobbitt Cavett, projection design by Caite Hevner, lighting by Charlie Morgan Jones, sound by Justin Teasdale, arrangements and orchestrations by Lourds Lane and Wendy Bobbitt Cavett, and casting by Pearson Casting.
