Broadwayworld komt vandaag met wel heel fijn nieuws!
We can’t do better than tonight’s big news from the West End! Jason Robert Brown will direct his two-hander musical THE LAST FIVE YEARS in London this fall, starring Samantha Barks and Jonathan Bailey as Cathy and Jamie. According to the Daily Mail, the production will run at the St. James Theatre, October 28 - November 26, 2016.
Before the casting process began, the Mail writes that Brown told the production team: “I’m not writing for beginners or amateurs, I’m writing for the highest level of performance. That incredible, high level of technique is not something you get just because you’re famous; it’s something you have to work very hard for.”
Barks and Bailey will reunite after appearing together in the Disney Channel series GROOVE HIGH in 2012. Because of their history, Brown told the Mail, “You could sense that the two of them immediately had what we lazily call ‘chemistry’.”
