Grim - A New Musical

Grim - A New Musical at Charing Cross Theatre

This spellbinding new musical is the love story to DIE for!

Why see Grim - A New Musical?

In a stark departure from their smash comedy The Daily Fail, Untold Theatre Company present Grim: A New Musical, a dark romantic tragedy set within a high school setting.

WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT?

When the Grim Reaper takes on human form as a bookish student and enrolls herself at Coeur Noir School, she is desperate to understand why humans undergo torment at the death of their loved ones, when she herself has no soul.

Grim manages to alienate all the popular crowd through her quietness and lack of understanding of their jokes(one of the girls rudely asks if she is German!) - all except for Cupid, the dashing popular jock that all the girls fancy like hell - but for him, it's love at first sight when he meets Grim.

Taking elements from Wicked, and various myths and legends, two unstoppable forces meet and fall in love - but will their destinies force them apart?

Bravo

For new and upcoming Writers, Directors & Producers to start off with a new show at Charing Cross Theatre must of been very nervous for them all so I must say what a great job they did & look forward to any more shows you offer us in the future. I think the show was performed very well with all the cast giving strong performances especially the leads Grim, Cupid, Amelia & Mathew I wish you all the best for your future careers. The music was brilliant too set the scenes well very powerful. I am sure like any show that is new there will be changes as there are still with long running shows in the West End to improve them so I am sure this will come on a long way if given the opportunity deserved. I would recommend viewing of this show as I enjoyed it very much. Good luck for the rest of the month with your performances ... Read more

Great Cast and Score, lacking Script

This set-up certainly has the potential for a spell-binding musical, and fortunately this expectation is reached and surpassed. Although the script, written by Fiona O'Malley, may be a bit lacking with some fundamental plot flaws, such as a modern day school wanting to burn their peer at the stake, the cast are well-worth their place on the West-End. The music is superb, written by Joseph Alexander, and is certainly worthy of an iTunes download. One particular song "Beware of Grim", sung with power and dominance by Kathryn Rutherford as Cherry and Rhiannon Drake as Sabrina has persevered to stay in my head. A song which the titular character Grim, played by Roseanna Christoforou sung, "Because I am Evil" was delivered with sinister grace along with an echo of Elphaba. Her love interest, Cupid, played by Anthony Matteo, also gave a strong performance. Supporting actress Georgi Mottram, who played Amelia, gave a comedic touch to what is a musical (but not a well-written) masterpiece! ... Read more
