Georgie Westall will star as Persephone in the new rock musical Mythic which will receive its world premiere at London’s Charing Cross Theatre next month.
Westall who previously played a Siren in Myth: The Rise and Fall of Orpheus at The Other Palace will star alongside Daniella Bowen (Made in Dagenham, Queens Theatre, Hornchurch) as her mother Demeter.
They will be joined by: Genevieve McCarthy, who will make her professional London stage debut as Aphrodite; recent graduate Michael Mather who will make his professional debut as Hades; and Tim Oxbrow (Jesus Christ Superstar, UK tour) as Zeus.
The production also features Eloise Davies, Courtney Brogan Smalley, Jade Marvin, Jamie Ross, Ben Welch and Ben Lancaster.
Written by Marcus Stevens (book and lyrics) and Oran Eldor (music), Mythic takes the mythical story of the daughter of Zeus and Demeter who became goddess of the underworld and turns it into a tale of mother and teenage daughter conflict set to a rock music soundtrack.
Directed and choreographed by Sarah O’Gleby, the musical will debut with a strictly limited seven-week season running from Monday 1 October until Saturday 25 November.
Associate choreographer on the Tony-nominated Frozen, O’Gleby heads a creative team that includes: musical supervisor Chris Hatt, musical director Chris Ma, designer Lee Newby, lighting designer Jamie Platt, and sound designer Andrew Johnson with casting by Harry Blumenau for Debbie O’Brien Casting.
