First look: New Van Gogh musical Starry’s London Workshop!
A first look at the workshop of new Van Gogh musical Starry has been revealed.
The pop-rock musical about the brothers Vincent and Theo van Gogh is currently in development in London, with plans for a fully stayed production next year.
Written by Matt Dahan and Kelly D’Angelo, Starry has already enjoyed sold-out concerts at Feinstein’s/54 Below in New York City and recently released a concept album which is available to stream here.
The cast of the work shop features Dean John-Wilson, Jamie Muscato, Maiya Quansah Breed, Milo McCarthy, Aaron Teoh, Adrian Hansel and Natalie Paris.
Vincent van Gogh is perhaps one of the most famous artists in all the world, however the Dutch painter only found acclaim after his death.
During his tumultuous life Vincent exchanged over 600 letters with his beloved brother Theo, whose wife, Jo Bogner Van-Gogh, compiled and had them published in 1914, raising the pair to prominence they never experienced in life.
These intimate windows into Vincent’s life and their relationship are now adapted for the stage in Starry.
Starry will a closed industry showing on 8 April with Ameena Hamid set to produce a world premiere production in the UK next year.
The creative team features director Dean Johnson, choreographer Nileeka Bose, musical director Jordan Li-Smith, designer Simon Kenny, video & projection designer George Reeve, casting director Sarah Jane Price, stage manager Nick Egan and graphic designer Christopher D. Clegg.
