In addition to Morgan and Harries, the cast of Mojo stars Rupert Grint as Sweets, Brendan Coyle as Mickey, Ben Whishaw as Baby and Daniel Mays as Potts.
Set in a seedy nightclub in the fledgling rock ‘n’ roll scene of the ‘50s, Mojo tells the story of a rising rock star, a jealous manager, a scheming gangster, an ambitious club owner, a kidnapping and a murder that ties it all together. The show is a dark comedy about the sleazy underworld and power games of London’s infamous music district.
Mojo opened in 1995 in the West End and went on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
