New musical Little Piece of You – An Atypical Musical is set to light up the Theatre Royal Drury Lane with two exclusive staged concerts on 31 October and 1 November 2024.
This groundbreaking musical, brought to life by 17-year-old rock prodigy Kjersti Long, offers an emotional blend of family drama infused with the energy of modern rock and pop.
Tickets for the London concerts are on sale now from LWTheatres.
Kjersti, who began writing the music at just 14, not only pens the show but will also star as Sidney Hill. This event marks her European debut as both a writer and performer.
The show will also feature soul singer and actress Mica Paris as Shannon, triple Olivier Award winner David Bedella as Ethan and Two Strangers star Dujonna Gift as Britt
Little Piece of You – An Atypical Musical dives deep into the lives of Shannon and Britt, a mother and daughter duo navigating their family’s hidden struggles. Together, they embark on a transformative journey, breaking their silence and stepping into a future filled with hope and resilience.
Kjersti said: “It is a dream come true to see the music that I began working on when I was 14 come to life in the iconic setting of London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of the biggest theatres in the UK. It is mind-boggling that I get to take to the stage alongside the most extraordinary cast who we will announce in the coming weeks. I can’t wait for London audiences to be a part of history in these first look concerts!”
