New musical SuperYou has announced casting for its upcoming London workshops.

After a debut performance at MusicalCon last month, the West End-bound musical will hold London workshops starting on 22 November, with presentation performances on 7 and 8 December.

SuperYou has a book, music and lyrics by Lourds Lane with direction and choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, musical direction and co-arrangements by Wendy Bobbitt Cavet. Casting is by Pearson Casting.

Making up the cast for the workshops are Vicki Manser (Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, Six, Bat Out Of Hell) as Katie, Tom Francis (& Juliet, Rent, Hair) as Jay, Will Bozier (Wicked, Mamma Mia!, Edward Scissorhands) as Mi Roar, Natalie Green (Les Misérables, The Prince of Egypt) as Blast, Benjamin Terry (& Juliet, Kinky Boots) as Seven, Renee Lamb (Six, Little Shop of Horrors) as Ima-mazing, Lourds Lane (SuperYou creator) as Rise, Abigail Jane (Eugene Onegin at Garsington Opera) as Lightning Girl, Aaliyah Monk (School of Rock) as Young Katie, Jonty Peach (Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) as Matty and Ebony Molina (Guys And Dolls, Singin’ in the Rain, 42nd Street) as Mom.

SuperYou is an empowering female-led musical, celebrating the journey of a comic book artist who learns to love herself and find her voice when her own superheroine creations come to life.

With rock music at its core, the score also incorporates many different styles of music including pop, hip hop, swing, gospel, and anthemic power ballads.

SuperYou was originally slated to open off-Broadway in May 2020 but delayed due to the pandemic. A concept album is available to stream on Spotify here.
