Miscast

Directed by Lauren Ford-Jones / Adele Child / Kate Mountcastle

Traditional casting gets thrown out of the window in this high energy cabaret show!

 

The Miscast cabaret showcases a range of Wellington talent performing songs from roles they would never be cast in. By changing the roles, the dynamic and meaning of each song are altered, showcasing musical theatre in ways you’ve never seen or imagined! Results range from touching, thought provoking to downright hilarious!

 

With upbeat dance numbers, passionate ballads and dramatic storytelling through song, Miscast features new and old favourites from the world of musical theatre, with a twist.

 

This show contains mature content, and is not suitable for children.

"I particularly enjoyed "There is nothing like a dame" from South Pacific sung by the female cast members, "Sincerely Me" from Dear Evan Hansen performed by Adele Child and Kate Mountcastle, "Electricity" from Billy Elliot by Allegra Canton, and "Why can't that be me?" from Muriels Wedding, performed with real passion by Harlan Te Waiata. This was a major undertaking by the both the director Lauren Ford-Jones and the Music Directors Adele Child and Kate Mountcastle. Such a variety of musical styles to deal with. Well done for all the hard work you obviously put in."
Neil Brewer Broadway World
"...the female singing “Sincerely Me” from Dear Evan Hansen and the male singing “Why Can’t That Be Me” from Muriel’s Wedding: the musical, along with the male duet from Wicked“For Good” all gave excellent performances, each giving an interesting twist on each song."
