The West End production of Hairspray has taken on new off-site cast members in an attempt to minimise further disruption to the show run should anyone have to isolate.

According to the production’s website, additional cast members now include Alice Baker, Philip Catchpole, Chanel Edwards-Frederick, Georgia Iudica-Davies, Emma Louise Jones, Michael Kent, Esme Laudat, Samuel Nicholas, Charles Ruhrmund, Dominic Sibanda, and Shakira Simpson. They will be rehearsed in and available to step up if needed.

They join the existing cast which includes Michael Ball, Marisha Wallace, Lizzie Bea, Rita Simons and Jonny Amies.

The show is continuing its run at the London Coliseum from this evening following a self-isolation inflicted closure and is set to play until 29 September.
