Story Updated 12 Aug in red.

The comedy musical Betwixt! extends 3 weeks to 10 Sep 2011, at the Trafalgar Studios 2.

The show, with book, music and lyrics by Ian McFarlane, opened on 28 July, following previews from 26 July 2011.

Betwixt! is directed by Ian McFarlane, choreography by Grace Harrington, musical direction by Ross Leadbeater, produced by Christopher D Clegg.

Cast includes Steven Webb (Cooper), Ashleigh Gray (Miranda), Benedict Salter (Bailey), Ellen Greene (playing three roles - the identical triplets, The Enchantress, Princess, Nymph Queen) from 22 Aug Lizzie Roper takes over from Ellen Greene, Peter Duncan (playing three roles - The Great Garbo, Prince Haydn, Haydn Prince).

In modern day New York, writer Bailey - suffering writer's block - and flamboyant roommate Cooper Fitzgerald are catapulted headfirst into a strange enchanted world. Their arrival fulfils a prophecy that tells of a brave hero and a great queen and they are tasked with searching out a fading daytime TV star who is the only hope for saving a pregnant princess from losing the throne... Sex-crazed nymphs, hunchbacks, cross-dressing mutes, dancing reporters, enchantresses (of the evil-world-dominating variety) and a disembodied head with a Bavarian accent are teamed with sitcom-styled dialogue and a 'toe-tapping' score.
