West End leading man Jon Robyns joins cast of FIGARO: AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL

It has been announced that West End leading man Jon Robyns (The Phantom of the Opera; Les Miserables, West End) will play the title role in the world premiere of Figaro: An Original Musical in two fully-staged concert performances at the iconic London Palladium on 3 & 4 February 2025.

Robyns joins the previously announced Aimie Atkinson as Lucia, Cayleigh Capaldi as Sienna, Sophia Goodman as Amelia, and Maggie Solimine as Ensemble/Standby. Casting is by Harry Blumenau.

Further star casting announcements will be made soon.

Initial creative team members include musical director Caitlin Morgan, costume designer Sophia Pardon, set designer Justin Williams, and lighting designer Alex Musgrave.

Figaro: An Original Musical is brought to the stage by a stellar creative team that includes the show’s creators and book writers, singer/songwriter Ashley Jana (who has over 60 million streams of her music online) and award-winning director and writer Will Nunziata.

Figaro: An Original Musical is the hauntingly beautiful tale of Sienna, a young woman who dreams of singing but feels imprisoned by her life on her father's farm. When a chance encounter with two young orphans thrusts her into the life of a travelling performer, she meets the handsome Figaro, who promises to make all her dreams come true - but there is always a price to fame. Part love story, part mystery, Sienna's journey to discover herself and live the life she always wanted is fraught with twists and turns until it culminates in a moment that will change the course of her life forever.
