A new dance musical entitled Wait For Me is to have its digital premiere next week via streaming platform INPLAYER. The piece has been recorded by a cast that have formed a social bubble together, therefore adhering to Covid guidelines.

Wait For Me has been written and directed by Sam Cassidy, with choreography by The Greatest Dancer finalist Ainsley Ricketts, and centres on love, loss and life. The show will also feature singers, with Eloise Davies (Be More Chill) and Bluey Robinson (The Lion King) joining a cast of dancers including Chrissy Brooke, Clarice Lanta Lilly, Ainsley Ricketts and Jaih Betote.

Director Sam Cassidy said: “Before Covid, I was in the process of putting together Wait For Me as a stage show. It was early days and I was still pitching the idea and the creative team involved to producers. But when the lockdown was enforced, I had time to develop the music and the storyline with Ainsley’s style of choreography in mind.

“I’ve been very lucky to have a lot of incredible creatives help me progress in my career – I wouldn’t even be on the scene without Arlene Phillips and the generosity of Andrew Lloyd Webber (not to mention Nick Eve and Mark Shaw, who have backed me every step of the way) – so I feel duty bound to pay it forward, and give a platform to the next generation of artists. I know, Ainsley Ricketts is going to take the industry by storm. I am honoured to play a little part in his story.”

From Monday 5 October, you will be able to pay to view the show via the Wait For Me Live Facebook page, with tickets costing £10.
