Keith Jack (Any Dream Will Do Finalist, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) leads a 12 strong cast in Sincerely, Mr Toad, a brand new musical from Sell A Door Theatre Company in association with Greenwich Theatre. The show explores the life of Kenneth Grahame, author of The Wind in the Willows, and looks at the tragic events that inspired the popular writer’s most famous work.
I tagged along to last week’s press preview for Sincerely, Mr Toad and from what I could tell from the selection of songs presented as well as some brief convo with the creative team and cast, the show’s got all the right elements to make it as a hit and should have a strong run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Before it heads to Fringe, the show will preview at South Hill Park in Berkshire late July. After Fringe, Mr Toad will go on tour across the UK ending with a four night run at Greenwich Theatre in September.
