Sneak Preview : Rehab The Musical


 

The last time Queerguru came across Jonny Labey (the ex-Eastenders star) was when he was in Leon Lopez’s film Soft Lad. It’s a gritty Brit gay drama starring three TV Soap Stars and written and directed by a 4th one. Labey plays a seventeen-year-old dancer who is in the midst of a torrid affair with his sister’s husband who wants it to become so much more  https://queerguru.com/soft-lad/

This fall Labey will take center stage in London’s Playground Theatre when he stars in Rehab The Musical. The setting is 1999 and a jaded 26-year-old pop star, Kid Pop, (Labey) finds himself in court, after being caught red-handed in a drug fuelled tabloid sting. An understanding judge gives Kid the choice between jail time or six weeks in a rehabilitation centre. It seems a no-brainer: rehab will be a holiday. But how could Kid have got it so wrong?

‘Rehab The Musical’, at The Playground Theatre, Thursday 1 September – Saturday 17 September, has music & lyrics by Grant Black and Murray Lachlan Young, a book by Elliot Davis, and is directed and choreographed by Gary Lloyd  It also stars Keith Allen Gloria Onitiri and  John Barr
