The show is based on the hit album created by Jeff Wayne in the late 1970s and later adapted for the stage.

Cast members previously announced include Jason Donovan as Parson Nathaniel, Kerry Ellis, who starred in We Will Rock You and Wicked, as his wife Beth, and Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson in the role of The Artilleryman.
