The Other Palace
12 Palace Street, London, SW1E 5JA
Venue information Get DirectionsFollowing it’s hugely successful run at the Old Joint Stock, THE MAD ONES musical is putting its foot on the gas and accelerating straight down to London for a month-long run at The Other Palace Studio.
Mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved.
Meet 18 year old Samantha Brown. With the keys to her hand-me-down car clutched in her palm, we telescope back in time through her senior and meet helicopter parent Bev, high school sweetheart Adam and her painfully alive soul sister, Kelly.
Speeding into The Other Palace Studio this May, Kait Kerrigan and Bree Lowdermilk’s emotional, uplifting gem of a musical is packed with belters including ‘Go Tonight,’ ‘Say the Word’ and ‘The Girl Who Drove Way’.
Originally premiering off-Broadway in 2017 under the title The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown, the Drama-Desk nominated, coming-of-age story has gained a cult following online.
THE MAD ONES will star Courtney Stapleton (Beauty and the Beast, Six) as Kelly, Dora Gee (Ordinary Days, Hill behind the Hill) as Sam, Gabriel Hinchliffe (Madagascar the Musical, Be More Chill) as Adam and Thea-Jo Wolfe (Peter Pan, Singin’ in the Rain) as Beverly, with Eliza Bowden (Heathers the Musical) as swing.
If you’re a MAD ONES superfan or looking for your next musical theatre obsession, this production is right up your highway. Get in, loser!

Kelly was everything Sam wasn’t. She empowered her to break the rules, do the unexpected and live life on her terms. When Kelly dies in a car crash, a part of Sam dies, too. Now, Sam has a decision to make. Will she follow the expectations of others, or drive away into an unknown future?
