New musical Ride has announced the release date for a cast recording.
The piece by Jack Williams and Freya Catrin Smith tells the story of Annie Londonderry, the first woman to cycle around the world.
An original cast recording was released today (9 June 2023). You can stream and download the album on all platforms now via orcd.co/ridelondon
The album is released ahead of the show’s return to London, running Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 19 July. Prior to that, it will run Curve Theatre, Leicester from 7 – 15 July.
It’s 1894 and as the bicycle is sweeping change across America, Annie Londonderry has a wager to settle: can a woman cycle across the world? 4 continents in 15 months: easy! Except she’s only been on a bicycle twice.
From moneymaking masquerades as a Harvard professor to hunting tigers with German royalty, Annie spins the media into a frenzy with tales of her thrilling escapades. But with time running out and press coverage spiralling, she soon discovers that no matter how many miles she rides, the secrets of her past are never far behind.
Ride first premiered at Vault Festival in 2020, Ride ran at the Garrick Theatre in 2021 with two semi-staged performances. The show made its fully staged debut last year at the Charing Cross Theatre.
