Top Note Arts to present virtual production of Adam Gwon’s Ordinary Days

Following its critically acclaimed run at the King’s Arms in Manchester in 2014, Top Note Arts is reviving its production of Adam Gwon’s musical Ordinary Days for an online audience.

Filmed during lockdown, the original cast and creative team have reunited for the virtual production. The energetic musical presents a series of hilarious and fortuitous events, proving that ordinary days can be simply extraordinary. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, we are invited to re-evaluate our life stories and take a step back to view the big picture.

The cast features Laura Coard (The Jury, Hope Mill & Upstairs At The Gatehouse, My Fair Lady in Concert, St George’s Hall) as Claire, Matt Concannon (The Girl on The Train, UK Tour & West End, Flashdance, UK Tour, Belgium & Korea) as Jason, Aimee Horwich (The Last Five Years, The Kings Arms, The Wedding Singer, Bury Met) as Deb and Oliver Jacobson (The Book of Mormon, West End, Guys and Dolls, The Mill at Sonning) as Warren.

The piece is directed by Leah Fogo (Half Me Half You, Tristan Bates Theatre, Phoenix, VAULT Festival) with musical direction, sound design and orchestrations by Scott Stait.

Fogo said: “At this moment, our precious industry is under attack – from the virus, from public fear and from a government who have fundamentally failed the arts & events sector, but hope remains and we will be back stronger than ever.”

Ordinary Days will be available to stream online from 16-22 November here.

Don’t miss Leah Fogo talking about the production on Besties Who Brunch over on Instagram Live this Friday (25 September) at 2pm!
