Full casting has been revealed for the UK premiere of the multi award-winning Off-Broadway hit Adding Machine: A Musical.
Joseph Alessi (The Play Wot I Wrote UK tour) will take on the central role of Mr Zero alongside Kate Milner-Evans (The Phantom of the Opera, Her Majesty’s Theatre) as Mrs Zero.
The cast also includes Joanna Kirkland (Parade, Donmar Warehouse), Edd Campbell Bird (Les Misérables, Queen’s Theatre), James Dinsmore (Corbyn The Musical, Waterloo East Theatre), Helen Walsh (Les Misérables, international tour), George Rae (Grand Hotel, Southwark Playhouse) and Sue Appleby (South Pacific UK tour).
