The cast has been announced for the concert production of Unbound.
The new British musical follows home-schooled Iris, who finally convinces her mother to let her attend Black Lake High and is excited for an ‘ordinary’ life of friends, parties, and school spirit. When a school prank goes wrong and Iris' world is turned upside down, she unknowingly frees an ancient witch. She now finds herself part of the coven and with newfound powers. Unbound explores the nuances of community, and what it is to belong.
Taking place at Hoxton Hall on 27 October, the cast features leading cast Courtney Stapleton (Beauty and the Beast, London Palladium) as Iris, Lauren Byrne (Matilda, Cambridge Theatre) as Dani, Evelyn Hoskins (42 Balloons, The Lowry) as Lucille and Jodie Jacobs (Hello Dolly, London Palladium) as Helen.
