City of Angel is set to launch at Garrick Theatre in The West End from 5th March 2020. The musical City of Angels follows both the tale of a writer trying to get his novel turned into a screenplay and the fictional story of the movie itself. What will happen when reality gets mixed up with a script and how will they keep them separate?
Amongst those recently announced is Theo James who will play the role of stone opposite previouslly announced Hadley Fraser! The Bristol Old Vic school graduate was last seen on stage in Sex with Strangers at the Hampstead Theatre in 2017 in the role of Ethan but is best known for his leading role in The Divergent film trilogy!
The actor will play the role of Stone and Jonathan Slinger, know from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, will also join as Buddy Fiddler.
They will star alongside previously announced names – Hadley Fraser (playing Stine), Nicola Roberts (Avril/Mallory), Rosalie Craig (Gabby/Bobbi), Rebecca Trehearn (Donna/Oolie), Vanessa Williams (Carly/Alaura), Marc Elliott (Panchos/Munoz) Nick Cavaliere (Sonny) Adam Fogarty (Big Six), Mark Penfold (Luther Kingsley) Rob Houchen (Jimmy/Dr Mandril) Joshua St Clair (Peter Kingsley) and Cindy Bellot, Sadie-Jean Shirley, Manuel Pacific and Ryan Reid as the Angel City 4.
The show’s producer said in an interview : "I'm thrilled that two more phenomenal actors have joined this wonderful company. I knew Theo was a terrific actor, but I had no idea he was also in possession of such an exceptional singing voice. He and Hadley Fraser will be dynamite playing opposite each other. Jonathan Slinger is one of our finest actors, and I'm so happy to be working with him at long last. I think he will bring a magnetic danger to the role of this Hollywood Mephistopheles, Buddy Fiddler."
City of Angels will run until 5 September
