Photos: WHITE ROSE THE MUSICAL Has London Premiere with Gala Opening Night

Having received its Off Broadway premiere earlier this year, White Rose: The Musical is getting its UK premiere as the first musical staged at London’s Marylebone Theatre, 27 February - 13 April. The show celebrated its opening night with a gala performance. See photos from the red carpet.

White Rose: The Musical is based upon the inspiring true story of a small group of university students in Munich, Germany, who secretly met to write, print and distribute leaflets exposing Hitler’s lies and Nazi deception. Their courage in the face of tyrany would ultimately lead to them paying the supreme sacrifice.

Sophie Scholl arrives in Munich to join her brother, Hans, and study at university. Inspired by a rebellious professor, Sophie and Hans form a small group of students to resist Nazi rule and doctrine. In passionate and articulate leaflets - printed in secret - the White Rose resistance group provides instructions for passive resistance and, ultimately, sabotage. Sophie is passionate, impulsive and bold... dangerous traits in Hitler’s Germany....

The cast includes Collette Guitart, Tobias Turley, Owen Arkrow, Danny Colligan, Charley Robbie, Millie Robins, Nathan Shaw, Thomas Sutcliffe, Danny Whelan, Mark Willshire, Ollie Wray.
