OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Sugg has joined the cast of ‘Waitress’.
The YouTube star will make his stage debut in the musical in the role of Ogie, taking over from ‘Inbetweeners’ star Blake Harrison, from September 9th at London’s Adelphi Theatre.
He said: “I’m so excited I’ve been given the opportunity to play Ogie in ‘Waitress’ starting the 9th September.
“I got to see the show a couple of months back and it’s absolutely fantastic. I’m excited to be a part of the cast and to have now landed a role in the West End really has topped off an incredible year for me.
“I hope I do everyone proud and thanks to all my supporters for making it all possible and the best year yet.”
‘Waitress features an original score’ by Sara Bareilles, and also stars Lucie Jones as the titular character Jenna.
Laura Baldwin plays Dawn, Marisha Wallace portrays Becky, Peter Hannah is Earl, David Hunter stars as Dr. Pomatter and Andrew Boyer is Old Joe.
It looks set to be a busy year for Joe as last month the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star confirmed he had been cast in ‘A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon’.
He said: “I have always been a huge fan of everything that Aardman have ever made. So much so, that I went to animation club as a kid.
“I jumped at the chance at playing a role in their new movie and am so excited to be part of it!”
Joe – who previously lent his voice to the UK versions of ‘Wonder Park’ and ‘The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie: Sponge Out of Water’ – will have a cameo role as Pizza Boy in the upcoming Aardman Animations film.
