Thomas Hopkins and Danielle Tarento Present Moby Dick At Landor Theater

Cult musical Moby Dick is to get its first major London production since Sir Cameron?Mackintosh's West?End premiere in 1991, in a five-week season at the Landor?Theatre from Wednesday 27 April - Saturday 28 May.

A mixture of high camp, music hall-style smut and outrageous double entendres, Moby Dick sees the anarchic and nubile girls of St. Godley's Academy for Young Ladies and their unflappable headmistress trying to save their school from bankruptcy by staging Herman Melville's classic novel in the school's swimming pool.

The cast includes Sarah Lark, who understudied Nancy and played the role many times in "Oliver!" at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane after being a finalist on BBC1's "I'd Do Anything" search for Nancy, star in the production. Her other West?End roles include Lucy in the 21st anniversary production of "Snoopy!", "The Witches of Eastwick", "Beautiful & Damned" and "Mamma Mia". Debbie Kurup understudied and played the lead role of Deloris in "Sister Act" at the London?Palladium. Her other West?End roles include Velma Kelly in "Chicago", Dee Dee in "Tonight's?The?Night" and Mimi in "Rent". Michelle?Bishop has just played Marta in "Company"?at Southwark Playhouse. Her?West?End roles include "Jersey Boys" and "Fame The Musical", with "Footloose", "The?Wedding?Singer", "Saturday?Night?Fever" and?"Grease" on tour.

Further casting to be announced.

Moby Dick is Directed & Choreographed by Andrew Wright, who won rave reviews for "42nd Street" at Chichester Festival Theatre, and who choreographed the Landor Theatre's recent acclaimed 15th anniversary revival of the Andrew Lloyd Weber/Alan Aykbouyrn musical, "By Jeeves". Lighting Design is by Mike Robertson, who won the 2007 Olivier Award for "Sunday in the Park with George" and was nominated for a 2010 Whatonstage.com Award for Best Lighting Design for "On The Waterfront" for Steven Berkoff (Theatre Royal, Haymarket). Set Design is by Martin Thomas, who designed "The Drowsy Chaperone"?Upstairs at the Gatehouse, winner of the 2011 What's On Stage Award for Best Off West End Production.

Moby Dick is produced by Thomas Hopkins and Danielle Tarento, the team behind the acclaimed Landor?Theatre 2010 production of "Smokey Joe's?Cafe".
