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
