50 First Dates The Musical

50 First Dates The Musical description

Get ready to fall in love again, again, and again with 50 First Dates The Musical.

Based on the hit romcom movie 50 First Dates starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, 50 First Dates The Musical re-tells the heart-warmingly funny story of Henry and Lucy. Billed as a vibrant musical adaptation, it is stacked with catchy tunes and fabulous choreography, all set against a backdrop of exotic Oahu, Hawaii.

The story goes like this. The marine vet Henry Roth is known for loving and leaving, a faithless kind of guy. Quirky Lucy Whitmore, art teacher, has a smile he'd die for. But Lucy had a serious car accident that has left her with short-term memory loss. In her world, every day is 13th October, a brand new day with no memories of the day before. And Henry? Every morning, he's a stranger.

Henry falls truly, madly and deeply in love with Lucy. But his increasingly imaginative attempts to win her heart fail as her memory resets time and time again. Henry is eventually forced to accept reality and embrace what it means to adore someone who might never really remember him. Can he keep going? Is this love worth persevering with?

Based on the film with screenplay by George Wing, 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 Book, music and lyrics are by David Rossmer and Steve Rosen, and the action is directed by Casey Nicholaw (Mean Girls, Hercules, The Book of Mormon). There's set and costume design by Fly Davis, lighting design by Aideen Malone and video design by George Reeve. The sound design comes from Adam Fisher and the hair and makeup design 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. The casting director is Natalie Gallacher for Natalie Gallacher, along with Pippa Ailion Casting, and the show is produced by ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live and Gavin Kalin Productions.
