Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days, which played Pennsylvania Centre Stage this past summer and will be part of the 2008 NAMT Festival, will make its London bow at the Finborough Theatre in November.

Directed by Adam Lenson, the new musical will play the London venue Nov. 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17. Show time is 7:30 PM.

The cast will be led by Julie Atherton (Avenue Q) as Claire, Kenneth Avery-Clark (The Producers, The Drowsy Chaperone) as Jason, Hayley Gallivan (Follies in Concert at the London Palladium) as Deb and Lee William-Davis (Mamma Mia!) as Warren.

Ordinary Days features music and lyrics by Adam Gwon. The musical, according to press notes, "follows Deb as she loses her most precious possession — the notes to her graduate thesis — and unwittingly starts a chain of events that turns the ordinary days of four New Yorkers into something extraordinary."

Gwon will also appear in a concert featuring excerpts from Ordinary Days and selected material from his other works, all performed by stars from the West End and Broadway. The Nov. 1 concert will be held at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge.

The Finborough Theatre is located at 118 Finborough Road in London. Tickets, priced £14-£18, are available by calling 0844 847 1652 or by visiting www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk.
