50 First Dates The Musical

50 First Dates The Musical description

Based on the hit romcom 50 First Dates, 50 First Dates The Musical tells the heart-warming, hilarious tale of Henry and Lucy. This vibrant musical adaptation is packed with catchy tunes and amazing choreography, set against a backdrop of exotic Oahu, Hawaii. We meet marine vet Henry Roth, a man known for loving and leaving... until he meets sweet Lucy Whitmore, a quirky art teacher with a smile he'd die for and a seriously damaged short-term memory. To Lucy, every day since the car accident that changed her life is a brand new day with no memories of the day before, and Henry is a perpetual stranger. As Henry falls deeper in love, he discovers what it's like to adore someone who might never really remember him.

The show stars Josh St Clair (Wicked, Kinky Boots, City of Angels, Ghost The Musical, Frozen) and Georgina Castle (Elf The Musical, Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia!, Mean Girls). The screenplay comes from George Wing, with book, music and lyrics from David Rossmer and Steve Rosen. The director is Casey Nicholaw (Mean Girls, Hercules, The Book of Mormon), and the set and costume designer is Fly Davis, with lighting design by Aideen Malone and video design by George Reeve. The sound design comes from Adam Fisher, and the hair and makeup design is by Cynthia De La Rosa. With orchestrations and arrangements by Matthew Jackson, musical supervision and musical direction by Richard Beadle, the creative team is packed with West End talent. A delight from start to finish.
