Michael Brandon who is probably best known for starring in the ’80s classic crime drama Dempsey and Makepeace will play General Henry Waverly. Brandon’s theatre credits include the West End production of Singin’ In The Rain and originating the title role in Jerry Springer The Opera, the latter earning the actor an Olivier Award nomination. He also recently appeared across from Friends star Matt LeBlanc in four series of the BBC Two comedy Episodes. 

Brenda Edwards will play Martha Wilson in the upcoming production. The actor first came to prominence appearing on the TV talent show The X Factor in 2005.

The role of Betty Haynes will be portrayed by Danielle Hope who is best known for winning Andrew Lloyd Webber’s BBC series Over The Rainbow, which resulted in her playing the lead role of Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz.

Clare Halse will play Judy Haynes. Halse recently played the lead role of Peggy Sawyer in the Theatre Royal’s production of 42nd Street.

The role of Bob Wallace will be played by Danny Mac and Phil Davis will be played by Dan Burton. Both actors reprise their acclaimed roles from the musical’s successful run at Curve, Leicester in 2018.
