Rosalie Craig to star in concert performance of The Light Princess

February 16, 2018 by Tom Bailey Leave a Comment

Club 11 London and Alex Parker Theatre Company today announce The Light Princess from Tori Amos and Samuel Adamson will receive its first ever concert performance this summer. Rosalie Craig reprises her role of Althea, for which she won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical Performance,and Hadley Fraser will play Digby with further casting to be announced. Directed by Paul Foster, the concert takes place at Cadogan Hall on Sunday 1st July 2018.

Based on the Scottish fairy tale by George MacDonald, The Light Princess tells the story of a princess afflicted by a constant weightlessness, unable to get her feet on the ground, both literally and metaphorically, until she finds a love that brings her down to earth.

Rosalie Craig said today, “It’s so wonderful to have the opportunity to revisit this incredible piece 5 years on. It is hugely special to me and it will be a joy to hear it and sing it again after all this time.”

Samuel Adamson commented, “I’m thrilled that The Light Princess is going to float again this July in a concert produced by Club 11 London and Alex Parker Theatre Company. I can’t wait to hear the incomparable Rosalie Craig sing the role of the princess again – and who better to be her prince than Hadley Fraser?”

Rosalie Craig reprises her role as Althea. She is currently appearing in The Ferryman at the Gielgud Theatre. Other theatre credits include Becoming, City of Angels (Donmar Warehouse), The Threepenny Opera, As You Like It, Table, London Road (National Theatre), Hitchcock Blonde (Hulltruck Theatre), Ragtime (Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), Swallows and Amazons(Bristol Old Vic), Aspects of Love (Menier Chocolate Factory), Anyone Can Whistle (Jermyn Street Theatre), and Alice In Wonderland (Royal Shakespeare Company).

Hadley Fraser plays Digby and is currently appearing in Young Frankenstein at the Garrick Theatre. Other theatre credits include Harlequinade, The Winter’s Tale (Garrick Theatre), Saint Joan, The Vote, City Of Angels, Coriolanus, The Machine (Donmar Warehouse), A Long Day’s Journey into Night (Bristol Old Vic), The Pajama Game (Chichester Festival Theatre), Les Miserables (Queen’s Theatre) and Assassins (Sheffield Theatres).

Paul Foster directs. Recent theatre credits include A Little Night Music, Tell Me on a Sunday (UK tour) and Laurel and Hardy (Watermill Theatre) and Annie Get Your Gun (Sheffield Crucible).
