Gina Murray, Richard Costello & Richard Costello star in premiere of new musical Trio
The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich has today announced the full cast and creative team for new intimate musical Trio.
The piece will have its world premiere at the venue from 7 – 15 October 2022 with live streamed performances on 14 and 15 October.
The new intimate musical, with a new original score, is the latest by the creative team of Paul Sirett, Peter Rowe and Ben Goddard, whose previous collaboration include Midsummer Songs, Oxy and the Morons and Mods and Rox.
Trio, set in a buzzing London recording studio; one piano, one guitar, three stools, three characters and a lifetime of love and passion, loyalty and betrayal, captured in songs, creating an album which will be their legacy.
It started at a glittering party back in the 80s. Ian, the top record producer, Phil, the rising pop star and Becca, the breezy studio receptionist with a glance across a crowded floor that sparked a blaze to last a lifetime.
The three look back on their entangled lives, asking could things have been different and perhaps, where did they go wrong?
Trio will star Gina Murray (Chicago, Hairspray) as Becca, Ian McLarnon (Follies, Les Misérables) as Ian and Richard Costello (Death of England, Never Lost at Home) as Phil.
Peter Rowe will direct the world premiere production with musical direction by Ben Goddard, set & costume design by Libby Watson, lighting design by David Phillips, sound design by James Cook and casting direction by Debbie O’Brien.

Captioned and livestreamed options available will be available during the run, as well as a post-show talk on Thursday 13 October.
