Miranda star to play a lounge singer

Sarah Hadland is to join Nick Mohammed’s alter-ego Mr Swallow in his festive reimagining of A Christmas Carol.

The Miranda co-star will play lounge singer Rochelle in A Christmas Carol-ish, which runs at the Soho Theatre from December 7 to 23. She will appear alongside Mr Swallow’s regular sidekicks Kieran Hodgson and David Elms as  Jonathan and Goldsworth respectively 

Mohammed said: ‘It’s such an utter thrill to be working with Sarah again. She has that formidable quality of bringing such solid truth and emotion to whatever character she inhabits whilst never holding back on her proper funny bones.

‘It’s also a delight and genuine shock to be finally working with someone a notch shorter than me! We can’t wait to release Rochelle Kelly into Mr. Swallow’s world and to wreak more havoc.’

The show is directed by Matt Peover, who previously worked on Jayde Adams’s Serious Black Jumper, special, with music composed by Oliver Birch.
