Translate

Cynthia Erivo is rounding out her cast of magical beings with the latest Bad Fairies news, which announced live on Thursday at the Hollywood Bowl.

During her one-night-only concert Let Me Sing to You, the 2x Grammy winner revealed that Kylie Minogue, Jonathan Groff and Catherine Tate have joined her in the cast of the Warner Bros./Locksmith animated musical comedy, which is scheduled to premiere May 21, 2027 in theaters, in addition to teasing an orchestral arrangement of her character Jayne’s song “Hard to Believe”.

Minogue will voice Clowder, the Cat Witch, Groff will voice Robin Goodfellow, and Tate will voice the Fairy Gothmother. They join Cynthia Erivo, who leads the film as Jayne Staplegun.

Minogue, who was in attendance at Thursday’s show, said in a statement, “I’m so excited to be part of Bad Fairies, alongside the incredible Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Groff and such a brilliant cast of voices. And getting to play both a cat and a witch? It’s a little bit magical, a little bit mischievous and a whole lot of fun.”

Directed by Megan Nicole Dong and co-directed by Olivier Staphylas, Bad Fairies is an original musical comedy set in contemporary London that follows a delightfully subversive gang of fairies as they shake up their magical world. The film is penned by Deborah Frances-White.

Previously announced cast includes Serrana Su-Ling Bliss as Fei Chang, James Acaster as Stickers, Dee Bradley Baker as Groundbeef and Ncuti Gatwa as Butterwort.

Tony-winning duo Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss (Six: The Musical) are writing original songs, with Grammy-nominated Isabella “Machine” Summers (Florence + The Machine) composing the score and contributing to the songs. Ian Eisendrath (KPop Demon Hunters) serves as executive music producer.

Kylie Minogue is represented by Jason Weinberg at Untitled and Polly Bhowmik at Context Management. Jonathan Groff is represented by Brian Boone and Joe Michota at CAA. Catherine Tate is represented by Jeremy Barber at UTA and Robert Taylor at The Artists Partnership.
