Two Doors Down<\/a> star Kieran Hodgson, who is also known for his viral impressions videos taking on characters from shows like Line of Duty<\/a>, The Crown<\/a> and Peaky Blinders<\/a>, has written the show and is set to play Prince Andrew.<\/span><\/p>\n He will be joined by Munya Chawawa as Prince Charles (now King Charles III) and Catastrophe star Jenny Bede as the prince\u2019s former wife, Sarah Ferguson.<\/span><\/p>\n Starstruck<\/a>\u2019s Emma Sidi is also set to appear as presenter Emily Maitlis in a reimagining of the prince\u2019s bombshell Newsnight interview, which aired on the BBC in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joe Wilkinson will play a newspaper vendor, while comedy legend Harry Enfield (who previously took on the role of Prince Charles in Channel 4 comedy The Windsors) will appear as former Prime Minister Tony Blair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK favourite Baga Chipz<\/a> is also set to crop up as Margaret Thatcher, putting her Snatch Game impersonation skills to good use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The hour-long musical will focus on \u201cthe key events, relationship and controversies of Andrew\u2019s life\u201d, and will include seven original songs, ranging from I Nailed It, described by Channel 4 as \u201ca high-octane duet set in the aftermath of the Duke\u2019s Newsnight interview,\u201d to Will You Be My Ex-Wife?, a ballad sung by Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hodgson has written the lyrics, with the original music co-written by Freddie Tapner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Chawawa has also written the lyrics for Obey, which was composed by Pippa Cleary. The track is described as \u201ca stirring solo number\u201d that will see the Prince look back at past and present royal scandals.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe story of Prince Andrew is tragedy and farce rolled into one, so why not add \u2018musical\u2019 for good measure?\u201d Hodgson said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u201cSome might find the prospect of writing and performing their first TV musical a tad daunting. Not me. I found it completely terrifying. But we\u2019ve pulled out all the stops, put every penny on screen and let rip at an institution that would perhaps prefer us to forget about all this. Also, I\u2019m on a trampoline for a bit. Enjoy, world!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Stu Mather, executive producer at Hat Trick Productions, added: \u201cWhat better way to celebrate the festive season than with an hilarious musical, lampooning the country\u2019s most high profile pizza-lover.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt has been a real thrill to assemble such a phenomenally talented cast for this all-singing, all-dancing (but no sweating) spectacular and we can\u2019t wait for you to see it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The programme is part of Channel 4\u2019s Truth or Dare season, which marks the broadcaster\u2019s 40th anniversary with what programme boss Ian Katz described as \u201ca collection of irrelevant, thought-provoking and hugely entertaining shows that no other broadcaster would air\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n Want something else to watch?
