Football and fans feature on stage in the West End’s newest theatre
(Picture: ES Picture Desk)Two understudies have been hailed for “stepping up” after a leading actor fell ill hours before opening night at the West End’s first new theatre in 50 years.
Daniel Murphy fell ill with a virus yesterday morning and doctors ruled him out of the production at 2pm — five hours before curtain up at @sohoplace. But understudies Perry Moore and Joe Sproule stepped in to save the day, hastily learning the part together and sharing the role on stage.
