Some stories didnt make it into the history books Based on the Off-Broadway hit production, and transferring to London following a highly acclaimed run at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester earlier this year, YANK! is a poignant love story based on the true, hidden history of gay soldiers during World War Two. In 1943, young Mid-Westerner Stu is called up to serve in the forces and becomes a reporter for Yank Magazine, the journal for and by the servicemen. Following the men in Charlie Company, this acclaimed musical explores what it means to be a man and fall in love YANK! is sensational - Attitude Scott Hunter (Grease, The Kissing Dance) will reprise his role as Stu and joining the company are Andy Coxon (Beautiful The Carole King Musical, Les Misrables) as Mitch, Waylon Jacobs (Chicago, Memphis) as Sarge/Scarlet and Bradley Judge (Dont Run, Sister Act) as Rotelli. The rest of the company is completed by Benjamin Cupit, Lee Dillon-Stuart, Chris Kiely, Kris Marc-Joseph, Mark Paterson, Tom Pepper and Sarah-Louise Young. This production is directed by James Baker, with musical direction by James Cleeve and choreography by Chris Cuming.
