Major new musical Sea Witch receives world premiere at Theatre Royal Drury Lane with cast announced

An all-star cast has been announced for Sea Witch. This includes Drag Race star and broadcaster Michelle Visage as Tante Hansa, Jay McGuiness (&Juliet, UK Tour) as Iker, Natalie Paris (SIX The Musical) as Evie, Mazz Murray (Mamma Mia!) as Queen Charlotte, Amy Di Bartolomeo (The Devil Wears Prada) as Annemette and Natalie Kassanga (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Malvina.

The show is driven by a brand-new creative team, featuring Dean Lee (choreographer to global icon Janet Jackson), Kristopher Russell & Michael Glover (featured in Rolling Stone), Music and Lyrics by Segun Fawole and Music Production by Jeff Nang.

Sea Witch reimagines the origins of one of the sea's most feared villains. Presented as a prequel inspired by The Little Mermaid, this new musical 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 of them are driven towards a reckoning that will reshape their futures forever. Sea Witch is billed as a powerful story of identity, sacrifice, and self-discovery with a soundtrack that blends cinematic pop, dark soul, and soaring musical theatre songwriting.

Director and Co-Creator, Kristopher Russell 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"

Sea Witch will play for two performances at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 1 March 2026.
