It has been confirmed that the musical, which had a run at the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham last April, will head to London from the 7th May until the 1st June 2025.
With tickets now on sale, The Mad Ones will transfer to The Other Palace Studio for a strictly limited four week run.
Having been a viral hit via YouTube, the show follows the story of Samantha Brown – a senior in high school who, after the tragic death of her vivacious best friend Kelly in a car wreck, loses not only her closest confidante, but also the part of herself that was learning to be brave. Now, Sam has to make a decision: to follow the path her mother has set out for her, or to summon the courage to drive away from her friends and family into a future she can scarcely imagine.
The musical features music by Bree Lowdermilk, with book and lyrics by Kait Kerrigan. It was originally known as The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown and opened off-Broadway (Prospect Theater Company at 59E59) on November 17, 2017.
The show’s producer, Samantha Creswick, said: “We are so proud and excited to be bringing this show to a London audience, and connecting with a wider group of fans, many of whom have been listening to it in their bedrooms and cars since before the pandemic! It’s such a rich and resonant coming-of-age story that is perhaps even more relevant to audiences now than when it was first written, and we couldn’t be more proud to have found its perfect home in The Other Palace Studio.”
Meanwhile, the creative team behind The Mad Ones includes: director Emily Susanne Lloyd, with musical direction by Callum Thompson.
