The full cast has been unveiled for this month’s London workshops of new rock musical SUPERYOU.

Featuring a book, music and lyrics by Lourds Lane, the female-led story of a comic book artist was originally due to open Off-Broadway in May 2020. The musical’s TikTok account now has over 21 million views worldwide and Lane’s concept album already has a cult following. The show’s online success led to two sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York in July.

SUPERYOU is directed and choreographed by JoAnn M. Hunter, with musical direction and co-arrangements by Wendy Bobbitt Cavett and is produced by All Awesome LLC/Melissa M. Jones.
