After the successful staged concert run earlier this year at the Phoenix Artist Club, Molly Wobbly is opening at Leicester Square Theatre in January 2015.
THREE DESPERATE WOMEN,
TWO STRANGERS IN TOWN,
ONE HELL OF A MAKE-OVER!
The women of Little Happening are desperate – all three are trapped in loveless marriages and stuck with failing businesses. There is only one person who can help them – a woman they’ve never met. Her name is Molly Wobbly. Margaret, Ruth, and Jemma receive unexpected makeovers when a stranger arrives on Mammary Lane in the acclaimed musical comedy by PAUL BOYD that was the talk of the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe! The show began life in 2011 as a staged concert at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre. In 2012 a festival-scale production premiered at the Lyric and ran at the Assembly Rooms throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Most recently, in 2014, the show was presented as a staged concert at the Phoenix Artist Club. Molly Wobbly tells the saucy, sexy, outrageous story of Margaret, Ruth, and Jemma – three Little Happening shopkeepers who plot to get a few things off their chests. Bulging with big laughs, crammed with catchy songs, and chock-full of cheeky characters, Molly Wobbly is the hilarious musical comedy about a mysterious woman and her dream to make the world a more beautiful place.
Running at Leicester Square Theatre: 30th January – 14th March 2015 (previews from 27th January). For more information and tickets visit Molly Wobbly website.
