Michelle Visage to star in new musical, Sea Witch
Michelle Visage is to star in new musical, Sea Witch, will receive its world premiere at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday, 1 March.
Sea Witch is a new musical that reimagines the origins of one of the sea’s most feared villains. A prequel inspired by The Little Mermaid, it follows Evie, a witch surviving in a world where magic is outlawed.
When her fate collides with Annemette, a mermaid with a secret of her own, both are driven toward a reckoning that will reshape their futures forever. A powerful story of identity, sacrifice, and self-discovery. A myth reimagined. A villain reborn.
Drag Race star and broadcaster Michelle Visage, who stars as Tante Hansa, said: “Joining the production of Sea Witch fills my heart in ways I can barely put into words. To stand on a London stage, in a story this daring and unapologetic, is a dream I hold very close. This production is powerful, fearless, and brimming with talent - and I am deeply honoured to be part of something so magical.”
All-star casting for this unmissable musical theatre event includes Visage alongside Strictly Come Dancing winner and The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness as Iker, Olivier Award-nominee and original SIX cast member Natalie Paris as Evie, Mamma Mia!’s Mazz Murray as Queen Charlotte, Olivier Award and Whatsonstage Award-nominee Amy Di Bartolomeo fresh from her role as Emily in The Devil Wears Prada as Annemette and Moulin Rouge! leading lady Natalie Kassanga as Malvina.
Kristopher Russell, Director and Co-Creator, said: "With Sea Witch, we’re not just staging a story, we’re creating a new blueprint for musical theatre. Every visual, every beat, every emotional moment is crafted to push the genre forward. This is a show that will influence the way musicals are made for years to come. It is rich in story, musically dynamic and ultra modern. A big bold new musical"
