Brought to the stage by Cavendish Productions, Paul Morrisey Ltd and Darren Bell Productions, Rosie shares the remarkable true story of Miss Rosie Boote, who was raised in a convent in Ireland with a dream of becoming a star on the West End stage in Edwardian London. It’s a thrilling tale of passion, scandal, and courageous determination.

Already announced for the production is Lucy Thomas (The Voice Kids) in the title role, Will Callan (Les Misérables) as Geoffrey Taylour Marquis of Headfort, Desmonda Cathabel (Hadestown) as Lily Turner, Madalena Alberto (Evita) as Annie Boote, Charles Brunton (101 Dalmatians) as Lord Harrington, Connor Carson (The Rocky Horror Show, West End and UK Tour) as James Walker, Alexander Evans (Bonnie and Clyde, West End & UK Tour) as Lord Ashcroft, Rebecca Gilliland (Dirty Dancing, UK Tour) as Duchess of Westminster, Gavin James (Les Misérables: The Staged Concert) as George Edwardes, Brady Isaacs Pearce (Fiddler On The Roof, Barbican) as Eleanour Richards, Jackie Pulford (Chosen The Musical) as Mother Superior, Lydia Sterling (MJ The Musical) as Daisy Harris, Helen Woolf (Wicked, West End and UK tour) as Sister Catherine, Santi Cohen as Young Rosie and Lois Haidar as Young Rosie (Standby).

Completing the cast will be Sally Ann Triplett (The Witches, National Theatre) as Lady Edith and Dylan Wood (Hadestown, Lyric Theatre) as Stanley Roberts.

The West End run comes after a studio cast album for Rosie, written by composer Chris Broom, was released in 2024. It received great acclaim, amassing millions of online streams, with songs from the show, including the much loved "Starlight", "Suddenly" and "Broken Dreams", winning six International Songwriting Awards.

Rosie will be directed and choreographed by Cressida Carré, with assistant director and choreographer Charlotte Scott, set design by Steve Howell, lighting design by Jamie Platt, sound design by Paul Smith, costume supervision by Rachel Perry, props supervision by Katie Balmforth, musical direction by Yshani Perinpanayagam, assistant musical direction by Erika Gundesen, production management by Pete Kramer, casting by Sarah-Jane Price.
