Figaro: An Original Musical

3 and 4 February 2025 | The London Palladium, West End

Figaro: An Original Musical is having its world premiere in two fully-staged concert performances at The London Palladium on 3 and 4 February 2025.

When a chance encounter with two young orphans thrusts her into the life of a traveling performer, she meets the handsome Figaro, who promises to make all her dreams come true – but there is always a price to fame. Part love story, part mystery, Sienna’s journey to discover herself and live the life she always wanted is fraught with twists and turns until it culminates in a moment that will change the course of her life forever.

Starring the much-loved West End performers Jon Robyns (The Phantom of the Opera) and Aimie Atkinson (Six, Pretty Woman) alongside Broadway’s Cayleigh Capaldi (Titanique, Frozen) making her West End debut.

Other cast include Coronation Street’s Daniel Brocklebank, Ava Brennan (Hamilton, Les Misérables), Sophia Goodman (Matilda The Musical), and Cian Eagle-Service (Oliver!, The Witches)
