Aimie Atkinson and Cayleigh Capaldi will star in the upcoming London concert world premiere of Figaro: An Original Musical, set to play the London Palladium February 3 and 4, 2025. The new musical features songs by Ashley Jana and a concept and a book by Jana and Will Nunziata, who's also directing.
Atkinson will star as Lucia, with Capaldi reprising her work as Sienna from the musical's studio cast album. Also joining the cast is Sophia Goodman (Matilda The Musical), who will play Amelia. Maggie Solimine will be in the ensemble and serve as a standby. Casting is by Harry Blumenau.
The new work follows a young singer whose chance encounter with two young orphans and the handsome Figaro may just give her the chance to escape her formerly dull life on her father's farm and make all her dreams come true. A studio album of the score released earlier this year.
The production will feature music direction by Caitlin Morgan, costume design by Sophia Pardon, set design by Justin Williams, and lighting design by Alex Musgrave. Michael Lamon and 23 Productions are serving as lead producers, with Van Dean as executive producer, Andrew Byrnes and Witzend Productions as co-producers, and Carter Dixon McGill Productions as general manager.
