Hear the music from this powerful, critically acclaimed show celebrating the life and unforgettable songs of a true pioneer of rock and roll.
Personality: The Lloyd Price Musical tells the extraordinary story of Lloyd Price, the ground-breaking artist behind timeless hits like “Personality,” “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” and “Stagger Lee.” A true innovator, Price became the first teenager to sell over a million records, founded his own label, and paved the way for generations of Black artists in an industry not built to support them.
His music and legacy transcended race, inspired cultural change, and reshaped the sound of popular music — with legends such as Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Little Richard, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul McCartney recording his work.\
Personality: All Star Cast includes Cedric Neal (Hadestown, Guys & Dolls) as Lloyd Price, Shem Omari James (Jesus Chris Superstar, Dreamgirls) as Young Lloyd, Vanessa Ela Young (The Drifters Girl, Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Emma, Zoe Birkett (Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, The Bodyguard) as Rosetta Tharpe/Ma Nora/Erma Franklin, Clive Rowe (Guys and Dolls, The Addams Family) as Harold Logan, Marcus Collins (Kinky Boots, Hairspray) as Little Richard/Sam Cooke, Aaron Lee Lambert (Hamilton, Evita) as Don Roby, Matthew Goodgame (Jersey Boys, Mrs Doubtfire) as Art Rupe and Craig Armstrong (Hello, Dolly!, Tina - The Tina Turner Musical) as Levy.
Following a critically acclaimed run in Chicago and a standout London showcase in 2024, Personality makes its much-anticipated London stage debut for two concert performances only.
Don’t miss your chance to hear the music and discover the man who helped define a genre — and changed the face of music forever.
