London Activities

Based on a true story, Rue Magique, a new musical, explores the complex relationship between Desdemona, a South London prostitute, and her thirteen-year-old daughter Sugar. A moving rite of passage story, Rue Magique portrays a world that exists beneath the radar of police and social services, where people struggle to survive by any means possible.

Initially conceived by composer/lyricist Brett Kahr as a one-act musical written for a children’s charity, Rue Magique received its first performance in the presence of HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. Now in collaboration with writer/director Lisa Forrell it has blossomed into a heart-breaking yet heart-warming full length musical.

Leading the cast is Melanie La Barrie (Les Miserables, Mary Poppins, Daddy Cool) in the role of Desdemona. Joining her is Terel Nugent, most recently seen in Hairspray, as Rem, and newcomer Nadia Di Mambro as Sugar.
