Scouts! The Musical is opening at The Other Palace

Scouts! The Musical will play between 20 June and 9 July

Scouts from around the world have gathered to compete but when someone threatens to sabotage the competition, it is up to Joe and Ayesha to put aside their rivalries and use their newfound skills to save the day!

The show is directed by Sam Cochrane, who is also the book writer and wrote the lyrics together with composer David Fellon.

Created in partnership with The Scout Association, The Stage Award-winning Gigglemug Theatre (Timpson: The Musical, RuneSical, The Bean Spillers: The Improvised Musical) return to The Other Palace with a brand new actor-musician led comedy musical for the whole family.

Team Gigglemug has worked closely with The Scouts, a global charity which teaches skills for life to 57 million Scouts and Guides worldwide, and in 2021 Scouts! The Musical was selected for BEAM Festival, the UK’s leading industry showcase of new musical theatre.

Sam Cochrane said in an interview: ‘We’d love to get as many Scouts in the audience as possible,’ says Sam. ‘Parts of the show are interactive, so it may end up with some audience members up on stage. It’s going to be very exciting’.

Kemi Clarke will appear as Scout Leader Dylan, Rob Gathercole as Luke/Linus Lionheart, Emily Kitchingham as Charlotte, Joel Nash as Joe, Katie Pritchard as Rosie, and Sydney Spencer as Ayesha.
