The world premiere concert production will take place at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on the 25th and 26th March.
It has been announced that Broadway and Youtube star Todrick Hall is joining the cast of the new musical, which features music and lyrics by Chilina Kennedy and book by Eric Holmes. He joins the previously announced Eric McCormack, Rachel Tucker, Jamie Muscato, Oliver Tompsett and Tori Allen-Martin in this concert production taking place next month.
Todrick Hall’s credits on Broadway include roles in the original Broadway casts of The Color Purple and Memphis.

Todrick contributed songs to the film-to-stage adaptation of Burlesque, and will be creating the role of Sean in the world premiere this summer.
When Olivia finds herself in the hospital with limited memory, she must dig through her messy past to figure out which of the loves of her life is her emergency contact, only to understand that her desire to make everyone happy has left no one happy. Through a series of realizations, she reclaims her right to be flawed and loved in all her human complexity. However, as she regains clarity, tragedy strikes. It is then that spectacular Olivia literally moves Heaven and Earth to reconnect with her greatest love – her son.
The musical originally released a concept album in autumn 2023 featuring performances from Katharine McPhee, Alex Newell, Jackie Burns, Jenn Colella, Joaquina Kalukango, Jessie Mueller, Lea Salonga among others. It was produced by two-time Tony Award-winner Brian Spector and Daniel Edmonds, who also serves as the album’s music supervisor/director, arranger and orchestrator.
This concert production is directed and choreographed by Nick Winston, whose recent credits include Bonnie & Clyde, Annie, Loserville as well as the concert productions of Chess and The Secret Garden.
