Rise up. Blast Through.
SUPERYOU is an epic new musical that has the unique distinction of attracting thousands of global fans posting covers of its music for the last four years. For three weeks only, this viral musical is coming to the Curve in its first ever fully-staged production as a sung-through rock opera following sold-out concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Lyric Theatre, London.
When her own comic superheroine creations come to life, the protagonist, Katie, uncovers the hero she was always meant to be.
Vicki Manser (Six) leads the show as Katie. Joining her, and reprising their roles from the sold-out West End concert last November, is writer and composer creator Lourds Lane as Rise, Aaliyah Monk (School Of Rock) as Young Katie and Lightning Girl and Will Bozier (Moulin Rouge!) as Mi Roar.
Completing the cast are Kingsley Morton (Heathers) as Ima-Mazing, Courtney Stapleton (Beauty and The Beast) as Blast, B. Noel Thomas (Sister Act) as Seven, Damien Walsh (Dreamboats And Petticoats) as Jay, Owen Lloyd (Clueless the Musical) as Matty, Belinda Lee Chapman (Nutcracker!) as Mom, with Lu Anthony (Trapped Between Stories) as SuperYou cover Seven.
Also in the cast are Elizabeth Chalmers (A New World) as cover Katie and Young Katie, Ellen Eckersley (Snow White) as alternate Rise, Jacob Fisher (Singin’ in The Rain) as SuperYou cover Mi Roar, Jay and Matty, Bayley Hart (Greatest Days) as SuperYou cover Ima-Mazing and Blast and Catherine Saunders (Bat out of Hell) cover Mom.
With Book, Music, and Lyrics by Lourds Lane, SUPERYOU is told through a range of music styles including rock, hip hop, and show-stopping ballads. JoAnn M. Hunter (BAD CINDERELLA, SCHOOL OF ROCK) directs and choreographs this beloved story with Music Supervision by Wendy Bobbitt Cavett (COME FROM AWAY, HAMILTON), Set Design by Tony-nominated Anna Louizos (IN THE HEIGHTS, SCHOOL OF ROCK), Costume Design by Cynthia Nordstrom (ROCKTOPIA), Sound Design by Olivier Award Winner, Tony Gayle (MY NEIGHBOR TORTORO), Lighting Design by Ryan O’Gara (THOUGHTS OF A COLORED MAN), Projection Design by Caite Hevner (DERREN BROWN: SECRET).
Don’t miss your chance to be amongst the first to see this reimagined new version of SUPERYOU, only in Leicester this October.
