New York Musical Theatre Writer Rob Rokicki Returns to London for One Night Event on May 29

The award-winning composer of the Off-Broadway hit "The Lightning Thief" is bringing his brand of smart musical theatre rock back to London for a one-night only concert. The New York Times praised Rokicki's work as "sassy" and "energetic" and Mark Shenton calls Rob "an engaging new New York singer songwriter who has been developing a number of fresh sounding musicals Off-Broadway." Join Rob and his friends for a night of rock and roll musical theatre.

Joining Rob will be Michael Auger (member of Collabro, winner of Britian's Got Talent), Amy Davis, Amanda Flynn (Wicked, Mamma Mia), fellow composer/lyricist Tony Greenlaw, Tyrone Huntley (Book of Mormon, Memphis), Charlotte Jaconelli (Runner up on Britian's Got Talent), Scott Jowett, Emily Lynne (Savage), Misha Mullov-abbado, Sinead Wall, and Helen Woolf (Wicked).

A regular fixture at 54 Below and the NYC concert scene, Rob is a member of the Dramatists Guild, MMD, and alum of the Tony Award-winning BMI workshop. His musical, The Lightning Thief was nominated against shows such as Hamilton for Outstanding Musical at the Lucille Lortel Awards, has two national tours currently running and will return Off-Broadway in 2017. He co-authored (with Michael Ruby) two award-wining musicals Love, NY and Strange Tails. Rob often plays with collaborator Joe Iconis and Family. His first studio album, "I'm Ready," is available on iTunes and his new album/graphic novel Monstersongs will be out later this year featuring Broadway icons Megan Hilty, Julia Murney, Cheryl Freeman and more.
