Lichfield Garrick's Disenchanted! Hits UK Theaters

0:00On April 27th, Litchfield, Gary, and Staffordshire just dropped their first homegrown musical, disenchanted, marking the UK professional premiere. This show's got princesses flipping the script on that old dance-o-and-distress vibe, and it's packing the theatre's 500-plus seats. They crank out their own productions at least twice a year, including those hit pantomimes. Boss Daniel Buckroyd says it's heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from August 5th to 30th, with hopes for a full UK tour in 20. 27 in 2028. Buckroyd calls it a virtuous circle. Strong programming pulls crowds, funds new risks, and draws top talent to the West Midlands for bigger shows. Rising costs make public funding tough, but nailing the basics keeps creativity flowing. Cast members are hyped. Rosy Napper as Cinderella feels lucky for more regional gigs, like in the US, while Rochon Salnier calls playing Sleeping Beauty a dream born from. Peer passion. Disenchanted. Raps of May 2nd. Proving local theatres can spark the next big waves in UK Music Theatre.
