Rejected Nancy wins West End musical role
I’d Do Anything reject Amy Booth-Steel has been cast in a new musical called All Bob’s Women, which will run for ten weeks at the Arts Theatre in London.
Booth-Steel, who was the first to be voted out of BBC1’s search for a Nancy to star in a new production of Oliver, will star alongside Nicole Faraday in the production, who was most recently seen starring in Bad Girls - The Musical.
Faraday also appeared in the original ITV series Bad Girls as Snowball Merriman and has starred as singer Eva Cassidy in a UK tour of the musical Over the Rainbow.
Written by Romy Padovano, All Bob’s Women focuses on a man who is on a mission to seduce five women and keep them apart, so none of them are aware of each other.
It has been directed by Russell Labey, who was resident director on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium, and features musical arrangements by Sacha Puttnam, son of Oscar-winning film producer David Puttnam.
All Bob’s Women premieres on Wednesday, June 18 and runs until Sunday, August 24.
