We are excited to announce that Howard Gossington and Durone Stokes have joined the cast of ‘A Face In The Crowd’ at the Young Vic.
When radio producer Marcia Jeffries meets drifter “Lonesome Rhodes”, she immediately gives him a slot on her show. But as Lonesome’s fan base grows and the politicians take notice, Marcia realises she has unleashed a force she can no longer control. As countries across the world head to the polls, legendary singer-songwriter Elvis Costello and award-winning Broadway playwright Sarah Ruhl’s timely new musical reignites this Hollywood classic about celebrity, power, and politics.
Based on the acclaimed 1957 movie and play for the screen by Budd Schulberg, with music and lyrics by the legendary Elvis Costello, book by Sarah Ruhl. ‘A Face in the Crowd’ will be Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah’s final show at the Young Vic.
Performances start on 11th September until the 9th November 2024.
