MOLLY WOBBLY (Phoenix Artists Club)


Jamie Chapman Dixon (producer, 'Singer’s SoirĂ©e') is proud to present the London premiere of hit musical comedy 'Molly Wobbly' for a strictly limited season at Phoenix Artist Club from 8 - 19 March. The show began life in 2011 as a sell-out Staged Concert at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre before its larger 2012 production at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh where the show received four and five star reviews across the board.

The women of Little Happening are desperate - all three are trapped in loveless marriages and stuck with failing businesses. There is only one person who can help them - a woman they’ve never met whose name is … Molly Wobbly! Margaret, Ruth, and Jemma receive unexpected makeovers when a stranger arrives on Mammary Lane in this comedy by Paul Boyd that was the talk of the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT

For the 2014 Phoenix Artist Club Staged Concert version, Olivier Award Winner ('Hairspray') Leanne Jones returns to the role of Margaret, and is joined by 'Rent'’s Kate England as Ruth and 'Les Miserables'’ Lucy Garrioch as Jemma. 


Stars of the original 2011 and 2012 productions are also performing - Conleth Kane returns as Jake, Christopher Finn plays Robbie, and Russell Morton is reviving his iconic Ithanku. New to the show for 2014 are Alastair Brookshaw (Southwark Playhouse’s 'Parade') as Malcolm and 'The Voice UK'’s Jordan Lee Davies as Kitten.
