The first images of St James Theatre’s upcoming production of Around the World in 80 Days have been released, ahead of the show opening for previews on the 26th November.
The majestically mysterious, fabulously wealthy Phileas Fogg wagers his life’s fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days. Join Fogg and his loyal valet, Passepartout, as they voyage from the misty alleys of Victorian London to the exotic subcontinent and the wild west in a race against the clock. A cast of eight play more than 50 characters in this high-spirited, imagination-filled escapade for all the family.
The production is directed by Lucy Bailey and features music composed by Django Bates. Sets have been designed by Anna Fleischle, lighting by Chris Davey and sound by Mic Pool.
As well as starring Robert Portal as Phileas Fogg, the cast will also include: Simon Gregor as Passepartout, Tony Gardner as Inspector Fix, Shanaya Rafaat as Mrs Aouda and Eben Figueiredo, Lena Kaur, Tim Steed and Liz Sutherland in the ensemble.
Around the World in 80 Days will appear at St James Theatre from the 26th November and will run until the 17th January 2016. To book tickets visit: St James Theatre , Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk , Discount Theatre.com and Love Theatre.com .
