This satirical romp about the war on terror follows the story of an innocent young flower seller's journey from the mean streets of Jalalabad, with the help of a very friendly local terrorist - and an unusually proactive TV reporter in search of a 'killer' story. Songs include "Building A Bomb Today" and "I Wanna Be Like Osama."
Following a critically acclaimed try-out at the 2007 Edinburgh fringe, the full-length version of Jihad! The Musical receives its premiere at Jermyn Street Theatre in January 2010.

CAST:
Cast: Delroy Atkinson, Richard David-Caine, Tara Carrozza,
Yannick Fernandes, Gina Murray and Sorab Wadia.

Reviews of the Edinburgh 2007 production:
"The radicalisation of a clueless young Afghan gets the razzle-dazzle Broadway treatment. It's all thumpingly inappropriate, in a manner that owes a hefty debt to The Producers. But it seldom forgets the tragedy beneath the gaiety, and its wit and musical polish see it through. " Daily Telegraph

"There have been polemics recently complaining about the lack of young musical writers, and I have endured endless musicals here that will feed that pessimism.
But there are also glittering signs of hope. Somebody should sign up Samuel and Scheuer: there are whispers of Cole Porter in their jihad-mocking jingles."
Johann Hari, The Independent
