Olivier nominee Maiya Quansah-Breed will star in Dominic Powell’s Cases, beginning performances March 31 at The Other Palace. The musical will play the Andrew Lloyd Webber venue with a revamped score, additional songs, and a new cast.
Quansah-Breed played Catherine Parr in Six on the U.K. tour and at the Arts Theatre. Joining her are Sabrina Aloueche (Les Misérables), Andrew Patrick-Walker (Brooklyn at Greenwich Theatre), and Adrian Hansel (Hairspray), with Six associate director Grace Taylor helming the musical.
Cases depicts the ultimate fight for creative freedom, providing a voice for performers and creatives who lose financial security as they try to establish their careers.
The production follows a sold-out run at the Phoenix Arts Club, in collaboration with Michael Auger. Cases is produced by Pioneer Arts, founded by Artistic Director and Cases creator Powell.
