Marylebone Theatre Announces Full Cast for Cable Street

A dynamic new cast is set to bring the new iteration of Cable Street to life, as the musical returns to London for a highly anticipated six-week run at Marylebone Theatre.

This bold new staging reimagines one of London’s most significant moments — 4th October 1936 — when the East End became the frontline as ordinary people stood together against the rise of fascism. Driven by a powerful, contemporary score, Cable Street transforms this historic uprising into an electrifying theatrical experience — a battle cry of unity, defiance, and hope.

Returning from the original Cable Street run at Southwark Playhouse is Olivier Award nominee Debbie Chazen (Murder on the Orient Express, UK Tour; Jews. In Their Own Words, Royal Court Theatre) reprising her role as Kathleen. Ethan Pascal Peters (Muriel’s Wedding, Leicester Curve; Nerds, Edinburgh Fringe) returns as Moishe, with Max Alexander-Taylor (Jesus Christ Superstar, Watermill Theatre; Precipice, New Diorama Theatre) once again playing Sean. Aoife Mac Namara (Sleeping Beauty, The Mill Theatre) returns as Orlaith, and Jez Unwin (Groundhog Day, The Old Vic; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, UK Tour and West End) reprises his role of Yitzhak and Steve.

Performing as Mairead is Lizzy-Rose Esin-Kelly (The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, The Other Palace; Little Shop of Horrors, Sheffield Crucible), joined by Isaac Gryn (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Phoenix Theatre; The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Sky) as Sammy, and Barney Wilkinson (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Phoenix Theatre; Bonnie & Clyde, Garrick Theatre) as Ron. Olivier Award-nominated musical theatre star Preeya Kalidas (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre; If/Then, Savoy Theatre) will appear as Edie/Elizabeth, with Romona Lewis-Malley (Clueless, Trafalgar Theatre; Malpractice, ITV) joining the cast as Rosa.

Michali Dantes (Jesus Christ Superstar, The Watermill Theatre) joins the ensemble, alongside Annie Majin (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, Donmar Warehouse) and Natalie Elisha Welsh (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Cornerhouse Theatre) will play Rachel.

Cable Street tells a story of the diverse communities of London as they face down the very forces that sought to divide them. This timeless story is as powerful now as it ever was, echoing the same tensions and fears that still resonate today. At a time of fear and division, neighbours refused to be silenced. Jews, Irish dockers, trade unionists, communists, and ordinary locals — more than a hundred thousand strong — came together to defend the street they called home.

Shining a light on a vital part of London’s rich diversity, Cable Street is composed by multi award-winning composer and lyricist Tim Gilvin (Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch, Underbelly 2019 / UK Tour 2022–2024 / The Lowry 2025–2026; The Jingleclaw, Birmingham Hippodrome) and written by Alex Kanefsky (All For Your Delight, Farnham Maltings, UK Tour 2025–26; The Boy and the Mermaid, UK Tour 2017–19).

Acclaimed director Adam Lenson (Public Domain, Vaudeville Theatre; The Rink, Southwark Playhouse) will return, alongside Musical Supervisor Tamara Saringer (Clueless, Trafalgar Theatre; Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Criterion Theatre). Cable Street is produced by Dylan Schlosberg’s 10 to 4 Productions with Associate Producer Neil Marcus (Maria Friedman Celebrates The Great British Songbook; Adam Guettel, The London Hippodrome).

Alexander Gifford, Artistic Director of Marylebone Theatre, comments:
“I am delighted that Cable Street is being revived at the Marylebone Theatre. The events it depicts are as relevant now as at any time in the last ninety years. We need this show to remind us of the creeping danger of fascism and how through courageous community it can be overcome.”
