50 First Dates: The Musical will open at the Other Palace in the West End! It is a brand-new musical getting it’s world premiere in London. This news is hot off the press so here’s what we know so far:
The show is staring previews on Sunday 14th September with the official opening night on 24th September. Playing the lead characters are Georgina Castle (Mean Girls) and Josh St. Clair (Wicked). The remaining casting is yet to be announced. David Rossmer and Steve Rosen (The Other Josh Cohen) have written this adaptation. The direction and choreography will be by multi-Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (Mean Girls, The Book of Mormon).
50 First Dates: The Musical is based on the hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It is the heart warming story of a woman called Lucy with short term memory loss. The character Henry meets her and realises that each day he sees her she forgets him. Henry’s falling for her every day—she’s forgetting him every night. He thinks he’s finally found “the one”. Until the next morning when she wakes up with no memory of their first date. Henry takes it upon himself to find a way to make him fall in love with her every day.
The show will be packed with infectious songs and laugh-out-loud moments. What’s more, 50 First Dates: The Musical takes place in Hawaii so is perfect for beating those post summer blues when it opens in September. It promises to bring the heart, hilarity and tropical sunshine of the iconic rom-com to the stage for the first time ever.
