New casting announced for UK premiere of Broadway musical THE STORY OF MY LIFE

It has been announced that Tim Edwards (The Book of Mormon, Wicked) will now co-star in the UK premiere of the intimate two-person Broadway musical The Story of My Life, which runs at London’s Stage Door Theatre from 10 September-19 October.

Best-selling author Thomas Weaver has come back to his hometown to deliver the eulogy for his childhood friend, Alvin Kelby, but finds himself desperately scrambling for something to say. His reality is shattered by the memory of Alvin who takes him deep into Thomas’s mind cluttered with a lifetime of stories.

Edwards will star as Alvin, alongside Markus Sodergren playing Thomas.

Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the complexity of emotions under which it lies buried. A series of songs - in turn playful, touching and dramatic - The Story of My Life inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest chapters of our own life stories.

The Story of My Life is directed by Robert McWhir, with musical direction by Aaron Clingham, and design by David Shields.
