Tove Lo, Sebastian Croft, Kate Butch and more join the digital cast of The Fit Prince
Awkward Prods today reveal a glittering line-up of video appearances for their upcoming Edinburgh Fringe spectacular The Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)), playing at the Edinburgh Festival this August before transferring to us at the King's Head this winter.
Whilst the story unfolds live on stage, performed by Linus Karp & Joseph Martin, a parade of multimedia guest stars will add lashings of extra sparkle, chaos and camp to the already outrageous love story. Featuring pop royalty, cult TV stars and drag icons, this supporting digital cast includes:
- Tove Lo (Grammy-nominated pop star, "Habits", “Cool Girl”, “2 Die 4”) as The Prime Minister of Swedonia – marking her first theatrical role with a delightfully surreal digital cameo.
- Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper, Game of Thrones, Horrible Histories) as Prince Balthazar of Bashington
- Malte Gårdinger (Young Royals) as Prince Carsten of Markden
- Joshua Whitehouse (The Knight Before Christmas, Poldark) as Simon, Jacob’s Fiancé
- Misia Butler (Kaos, Everything I Know About Love) as Prince Henry of the United Kingdom
- Jeremy McClain (Pose) as Prince Laurie of New York City
- Kate Butch (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) as Angela Merkel
- Geri Allen (Operation Mincemeat) reprises her acclaimed role as The Queen of England from Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story
- Julia Bender (Swedish screen actor) as Princess Tonelia
- Max Lindsay as Gay Fan 3
- Kate Marlais as Orphans and BAAB Vocalist
- Sam Carlyle as BAAB Vocalist
The Fit Prince runs for the whole of Edinburgh Fringe Festival before coming to King's Head Theatre for a festive run, from 2 Dec - 3 Jan, with tickets now on sale for both runs.
