By Cynthia Erivo’s animated musical comedy “Bad Fairies” just got a starrier sky. The Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation film has added Kylie Minogue, Jonathan Groff, and Catherine Tate to its voice cast, with Erivo revealing the news live at her Thursday night Hollywood Bowl concert, “Let Me Sing to You.”

Minogue will voice Clowder, the Cat Witch, Groff plays Robin Goodfellow, and Tate takes on the Fairy Gothmother. They join Erivo, who leads the film as Jayne Staplegun, a trailblazing fairy whose defiant streak sparks a full-blown rebellion.
A Rebellious London Fairy Tale
Set in contemporary London, “Bad Fairies” follows a delightfully subversive gang of fairies who break every rule in the book — and when they accidentally turn a tween named Fei Chang into a fairy, they discover the magic system is on the brink of collapse.
The film is directed by Megan Nicole Dong, creator of Netflix’s “Centaurworld,” with Olivier Staphylas co-directing and a screenplay by Deborah Frances-White. Original songs come from Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the duo behind “Six: The Musical,” with Florence + The Machine’s Isabella “Machine” Summers composing the score and “KPop Demon Hunters” music producer Ian Eisendrath as executive music producer.
Release Date and Ensemble
The previously announced cast includes Ncuti Gatwa as Butterwort, James Acaster as Stickers, Dee Bradley Baker as Groundbeef, and Serrana Su-Ling Bliss as Fei Chang. Animation is being handled by DNEG Animation.
Minogue, who attended Thursday’s show, said: “I’m so excited to be part of Bad Fairies, alongside the incredible Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Groff and such a brilliant cast of voices. And getting to play both a cat and a witch? It’s a little bit magical, a little bit mischievous and a whole lot of fun.”
“Bad Fairies” is scheduled to hit theaters on May 21, 2027.
