Casting Announcement for new musical King of Pangea

Full cast and creative team are announced today for the upcoming world première of King of Pangea at King’s Head Theatre…

This soul-stirring original musical by Martin Storrow, directed by Richard Israel, will run from 7 June to 6 July 2025. The cast includes Dan Burton as Arthur Crow/Captain, Mark Curry as Elijah, Sophia Ragavelas as Celia Crow, Emily Tang as Amy/Maya and Alfie Blackwell will be making his professional debut as Sam Crow.

The cast is completed by Daniel Lee as Young Sam, Tayt Joshua Silvester-Stoller as Young Sam, Grace Champman as Cover and Haydn Cox as Cover.

Director Richard Israel:

“We are beyond thrilled to be working with this incredibly talented group of artists. The opportunity to work with such musical theatre icons as Dan, Mark and Sophia is a gift, and it is a particular thrill to be introducing Alfie Blackwell to the London theatre community. This is an extraordinary cast of actors, and we can’t wait to begin the journey with them.”

Based on Storrow’s own authentic experience, this wholly original new musical follows protagonist Sam Crow as he faces the loss of his relentlessly hopeful mother. He escapes to the only place that makes sense – the imaginary island of his childhood. With help from a wise-cracking prophet, a swaggering ship captain, and a star-gazing poetess, Sam sets off on a journey to claim his sovereignty… if he can only put the pieces back together in time.
