MCG Productions will present the U.K. premiere of Charli Eglington's new musical Saving Mozart July 28–August 30 at London’s The Other Palace. Opening night will be August 5.

Directed by Markus Olzinger, the cast will feature Aimie Atkinson (Six) as Nannerl, Jack Chambers (Stiletto) as Mozart, Erin Caldwell (Six) as Constanze, Jordan Luke Gage (Titanique) as Salieri, and Douglas Hansell (Come From Away) as Leopold with ensemble members Sveva Bartolini, Harriette Benazir-White, Corey Mitchell, and Alfie Simmons. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

The musical spotlights Mozart's sister Nannerl, the "extraordinary women who shaped, challenged, and ultimately saved him," press notes state. "This is the Mozart you’ve never met—raw, human, electric."

In a statement Atkinson said, “It’s a real pleasure to be stepping into the leading role of Nannerl in this extraordinary new musical, Saving Mozart, at the home of new musicals, The Other Palace. I'm so excited to work again with Charli and to sing her incredible music. I can’t wait to share this brilliant brand-new work with audiences this summer.”

The production will also have choreography by Taylor Walker, costume design by Julia Pschedezki, set design by Justin Williams, lighting design by Ben Jacobs, and casting by Ben Armstrong.

Saving Mozart celebrated its world premiere earlier this year in Gmunden, Austria—just outside Mozart’s birthplace—in association with Musical Frühling in Gmunden.
