Betwixt!, a comedy musical written and directed by Ian McFarlane, is to get a West End season at Trafalgar Studios 2 from Tuesday 26th July to Saturday 20th August.

In modern day New York, writer Bailey - suffering writer's block - and flamboyant roommate Cooper Fitzgerald are catapulted headfirst into a strange enchanted world.

Their arrival fulfils a prophecy that tells of a brave hero and a great queen and they are tasked with searching out a fading daytime TV star who is the only hope for saving a pregnant princess from losing the throne...

Sex-crazed nymphs, hunchbacks, cross-dressing mutes, dancing reporters, enchantresses (of the evil-world-dominating variety) and a disembodied head with a Bavarian accent are teamed with sitcom-styled dialogue and a toe-tapping score in a truly funny musical comedy.

Casting to be announced.

Betwixt! Is launching a massive online campaign at betwixtmusical.com where fans can be directly involved in the production through social media, live performances, ticket treasure hunts, lotteries, tweet Q&A's, interactive video blogs and much more.
