A new British musical, Are You As Nervous As I Am? is set to have its world premiere in London this autumn, running from 1-23 October at the Greenwich Theatre.

The show tells the story of two sisters who are forced apart to pursue lives away from their home in Wales. Peggy has a passion for singing, and is propelled by a drive to break unhealthy childhood patterns, find independence and build the loving family she always wanted. Janet struggles with her own demons, striving for the courage and support to live a truer and more honest life.

The production stars Katie Elin-Salt (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice) as Peggy and Emma Thornett (Bedknobs and Broomsticks) as Janet, with further casting to be announced.

The musical is written by Simon Spencer, with music by Leighton James House and lyrics by Shaun McKenna. It is directed by Phoebe Barran, with musical arrangements by Matthew Malone, set and costume design by Kevin Jenkins, lighting by Mike Robertson and movement by Denni Sayers.
