West End stars Jacob Fowler and Courtney Stapleton to lead the cast of The Mad Ones.
Electric Press Productions has announced the star-studded cast for the highly anticipated London debut of The Mad Ones, which will feature West End actors Jacob Fowler and Courtney Stapleton. Following a hugely successful first run in Birmingham last year, The Mad Ones musical is putting its foot on the gas and accelerating down to London for 2025.
Reprising the lead role of Samantha Brown is Dora Gee (Wolfed, Royal Vauxhall Tavern, London). She is joined by breakout star Jacob Fowler (Little Mix: The Search, BBC One) in the role of Adam. A beloved favourite in the West End, Courtney Stapleton (Beauty and The Beast, West End and UK Tour) brings unmatched belting vocals and charisma to the role of Kelly, with rising powerhouse vocalist Thea-Jo Wolfe as Beverly. Completing the cast is Eliza Bowden who will be covering the roles of both Kelly and Sam.
Featuring music by Bree Lowdermilk with book and lyrics by Kait Kerrigan, this moving and hilarious musical traverses the complexities of mother-daughter dynamics and the universal experience of high school relationships. Caught between a yearning for the unknown and feeling bound by expectation, 18-year-old Samantha Brown telescopes back to a time to relive her senior year. We meet the characters who were her life before her world fell apart - Sam’s well-intentioned helicopter mother, Bev, her high school sweetheart boyfriend, Adam, and her painfully alive best friend, Kelly, who haunts her.
Full of huge, soaring songs and invigorating vocals, The Mad Ones blends the perfect mixture of humour and heartache, presenting the very best of a contemporary musical theatre show.
