Four guest stars have been announced joining Kevin McHale, the Grammy-nominated and SAG Award winning actor, best known for playing Artie Abrams on the Fox TV series Glee, in The Frogs at Southwark Playhouse Borough.

Sharing the role of Pluto over the run of the show are:

Victoria Scone (she/her, performing 23-31 May) made history as the first person assigned female at birth to compete on Drag Race UK, on the franchise's third series. They were immediately a fan-favourite and gained a rapidly growing following. They then went on to compete on Canada's Drag Race vs The World, representing the UK. Theatre credits include: Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland UK Tour, Mother Superior in Death Drop: Back In The Habit (West End/UK tour), Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty (West End).

Can art save civilization? Let's find out! Shaken by a divided and despairing political climate (sound familiar?), Dionysos and trusty sidekick Xanthias take a leap of faith - straight into Hades. Their mission? Find a cure for an ailing world. But when they reach the River Styx, they encounter Dionysos' worst nightmare… frogs. Not your average pond dwellers, these amphibians are stubborn beings who resist change and are determined for the status quo to remain the same (sound familiar?) Will our dynamic duo outsmart these swampy naysayers and hop toward humanity's salvation? Or will they get bogged down in their muddy resistance? This is an ancient tale retold as a laugh-a-minute musical  comedy. From the writing team behind ‘A  Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' and Broadway legend Nathan Lane, ‘The Frogs' promises a toad-ally unforgettable journey.
