Broadway's Jerry Mitchell to produce new musical King of Pangea at King's Head Theatre

Jerry Mitchell is to jointly produce the world premiere of new musical King of Pangea at King’s Head Theatre, marking his first venture as a producer. 

The US-born director and choreographer behind musicals including The Devil Wears Prada and Pretty Woman will now join a producing team comprised of Nicola LaFountaine of Straighten Your Crown Productions, Jaime Bartolett and Luke Katler. 

With book, music and lyrics by Martin Storrow, King of Pangea follows protagonist Christopher Crow as he copes with the loss of his relentlessly hopeful mother by escaping to the imaginary island of his childhood - a tale inspired by Storrow’s own experiences.  

Announcing King of Pangea, Mitchell described encountering the new musical as a mentor on the Barn on Fire new musical writers’ residency programme on Fire Island, New York. 

Jerry Mitchell said: "There is no escaping death and loss, and how we process these tragedies often comes without a map. King of Pangea is the map. A beautiful map to the other side of grief, loss and eventual salvation. When I heard Martin’s stunning music I knew I wanted to do anything I could to help others hear this moving melodic story. This musical confirms life is to be lived every day even through the loss of people we love most."
