More star casting is announced for the UK premiere of the musical A Little Princess by Tony-nominated composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (Big Fish,The Addams Family, The Wild Party).
Based on Daniel Wallace's novel and Tim Burton's 2003 film adaptation, this musical is quite the oddity. Screenwriter John August has tinkered with the book since its brief Broadway run in 2013, but it remains an unfathomable mixture of magical and mawkish, whimsy and desolation.
Clare Burt is today announced to star as 'Sandra Bloom' alongside the previously announced Kelsey Grammer as 'Edward Bloom' in a new production of John August and Andrew Lippa's BIG FISH THE MUSICAL.
Kelsey Grammer will make his London stage debut in the musical BIG FISH, which makes its UK debut at The Other Palace 1 November-31 December. Book tickets here!
Baz Bamigboye of The Daily Mail has reported that Tony Award-nominated actor Kelsey Grammer will appear as the tall-tale weaving Edward Bloom in the London premiere of the musical Big Fish
