Presenting the premiere of a new American musical about the spectacular Rita Hayworth. LOVE GODDESS, THE RITA HAYWORTH MUSICAL The Cockpit Theatre, London November 20-December 23, 2022 thecockpit.org.uk Crowned Love Goddess by her adoring fans, Rita Hayworth thrilled studio executives and movie audiences alike, generating big box office in 1940s Hollywood. She struggled to identify with the bombshell image projected of her, marrying and divorcing five different men in her search for a partner who would love her for who she truly was. We meet Orson Welles, Fred Astaire, Harry Cohn and other extraordinary figures in Hayworth's life, through the fractured prism of her deteriorating memory. Hayworth suffered from undiagnosed Alzheimer's for 2 decades. Originally a solo play created and performed by Almog Pail, the show won raves from audiences and critics in Malta, Off-Broadway and London as it evolved into a full-scale musical with composer-lyricist Logan Medland, Co-Writers Almog Pail & Stephen Garvey, and Producer Laura Lundy of Blue Panther Productions.
