Maple Giant Theatre present PERSONALS the musical at Bridewell Theatre Tues 9th - Sat 13th November 2010 7.30pm (Sat Mat 2.30pm)

Press Night: 9th November @ 7.30pm

Written by the creators of hit sit-com Friends, PERSONALS is a hilariously quirky two-act show about being determined to find love but getting lost along the way. Examining how to prepare yourself for the dating scene and how best to find that special someone...could it be that the internet is the answer?!

With music composed by Stephen Schwartz, composer of Broadway and West-End smash 'Wicked', and award winning Alan Menken, composer of hit shows 'Sister Act' & 'Little Shop of Horrors' the score is catchy with just the right amount of sparkle, pathos and desperation. Personals takes the audience through a witty whirlwind of emotions leaving them wondering whether the dating scene has anything to do with love?

Specialising in contemporary musical theatre, Maple Giant has already enjoyed a sell-out production of 'Personals' at the OFS Studio Theatre in Oxford. With a wealth of directing and producing experience behind them, including award nominated productions at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Maple Giant makes their London debut bringing Personals to The Bridewell Theatre.

Cast includes: Bonnie Hurst (tick..tick..BOOM!, Oxford, Zanna Don't! Upstairs at the Gatehouse) Adam Fletcher (Footballer's Wives, Carmen, ENO) Nadeem Crowe (The Last 5 Years, Watford, Zanna Don't! Upstairs at the Gatehouse), Amy Cooke-Hodgson (Showstopper! The improvised musical, Honk!, Oxford), Amy Clapson (London Show Choir, Soho Theatre, Cavalleria Rusticana, Harrow Arts Theatre), Jamie Noar (Edges, C Venue Edinburgh Fringe, Spring Awakening, Bristol)
