BWW TV: Sneak Peek at Musical MISS NIGHTINGALE at Hippodrome Casino

By: Mar. 15, 2018

Miss Nightingale will make its West End debut at the prestigious theatre at the Hippodrome Casino in London's Leicester Square, for a strictly limited seven-week run in their 180-seat theatre, from 21 March to 6 May. Watch a behind-the-scenes video below!

This original British musical, set in 1940s London during World War Two, is created and written by Matthew Bugg and features 16 original songs, from innuendo-laden music hall-style numbers to tender ballads and complex trios and quartets.

Maggie Brown, an aspiring singer and her best friend George Nowodny, a songwriter and Jewish refugee, perform a dazzling act at the newest nightclub in town, owned by wealthy socialite and RAF war hero, Sir Frank Worthington-Blythe.

Maggie's beau Tom Connor paves the way for the sexy and charismatic 'Miss Nightingale' to be born, and the musical duo quickly find themselves with a West End hit! However, what the leading lady doesn't know is that George and Sir Frank are hiding a secret, and as Miss Nightingale's success grows, so does a forbidden love between the two men.

This new musical is performed by a cast of six actor-musicians, led by Lauren Chinery in the title role, alongside Oliver Mawdsley as Frank, Matthew Floyd Jones as George, Adam Langstaff as Tom, Tobias Oliver as Clifford and Matthew Bugg himself, in the role of Harry.
