About the Show
Faking Bad - The Unauthorised 'Breaking Bad' Parody Methsical had its first run from October - November 2018 at Theatre N16 in London, under the title 'Say My Name!' receiving rave reviews from press and our audiences (including both Breaking Bad veterans and newbies!).
​The production featured 6 actor-musicians who, against the backdrop of an old industrial warehouse, condensed the epic story of Breaking Bad into a one act musical comedy. The show contains a vast array of musical styles and theatrical tropes to speed through 62 hours of television in under 2 hours; and to keep the audience laughing all the way!
​
On 2nd November 2019 we released our cast album on all major platforms. Check it out here:

​
Paul Taylor-Mills revived the show, with a new title 'Faking Bad' at the Turbine Theatre in October 2022. This version featured even more multi-roling, with a cast of just four!
​
I am hoping to then take the show further - there are so many potential avenues to explore... Edinburgh Fringe, a small/mid-scale tour, another sit-down in Central London. If you think you might want to break bad with me, please do get in contact at robertjg@hotmail.co.uk
