Jamie Muscato (Christian in Moulin Rouge!, Guy in Once) will play the reverend James ‘Jim’ Lock, while joining him will be Lloyd Notice (The Lion King), Keisha Amponsa Banson (Girl From the North Country), Alastair Parker (A Christmas Carol), Julie Jupp (A Christmas Carol), Simon Anthony (Guys and Dolls), Kris Manuel (Mary Poppins), Christopher Erasmus (Beauty and the Beast) and Maisie Mardle (Matilda the Musical).

The creative team also includes musical supervisor Paul Schofield, set designer Justin Williams, costume designer Rubin Speed, lighting designer Toby Darvill, sound designer Dan Samson and casting director Harry Blumenau.
