Dylan Mulvaney Joins the Cast of We Aren’t Kids Anymore for West End Premiere
Award-winning actress Dylan Mulvaney is set to make her West End debut in Drew Gasparini’s We Aren’t Kids Anymore at the Savoy Theatre on 28 April 2025. Known for her groundbreaking series Days of Girlhood and celebrated as Attitude’s Woman of the Year 2023, Mulvaney will bring her signature charisma and artistry to this highly anticipated contemporary musical.
Joining an already stellar cast that includes Sam Tutty (Dear Evan Hansen) and Aimie Atkinson (SIX, Pretty Woman), Mulvaney is set to embody one of the production’s five unique narratives. Reflecting on her West End debut, Mulvaney remarked, “Theatre is my greatest love in life, and I’m thrilled to be part of such an inventive show with an incredible team.”
A New Era in Musical Theatre
Penned by celebrated composer Drew Gasparini (Smash, The Karate Kid), We Aren’t Kids Anymore blends pop, rock, and country influences to explore universal themes of growth, dreams, and self-discovery. The production, directed by Richard Fitch with choreography by Chris Cuming, unravels the rich emotional tapestry of life through five interwoven stories. This innovative musical disrupts conventional theatre norms, demonstrating Gasparini’s signature approach to storytelling through music.
Gasparini’s work, known for its boldness and emotional depth, has already captured the public’s imagination through a viral concept album. The West End premiere builds on the success of its June 2024 workshop, which offered audiences a first glimpse of the show’s evocative storytelling and dynamic score. The evening performance on 28 April will conclude with a special second act featuring Gasparini in concert, showcasing highlights from his acclaimed career.
A Dynamic Cast
Mulvaney joins Tutty and Atkinson, along with two additional cast members yet to be announced. Each actor represents a distinct perspective in this multifaceted exploration of life’s challenges and triumphs. The narratives span generations, genders, and experiences, uniting to create a resonant and uplifting journey for audiences.
The show’s musical supervision and orchestration come from Gasparini and Lauren Hopkinson, whose arrangements promise a fresh and vibrant take on contemporary musical theatre. Combined with set designs by Bob King Creative and general management by Bray Productions, We Aren’t Kids Anymore is positioned as a highlight of the 2025 theatre calendar.
