Full cast announced for the National Theatre's new musical HEX

Completing the cast are Zaynah Ahmed, Marc Akinfolarin, Christopher Akrill, Sabrina Aloueche, Sonya Cullingford, Ben Goffe, Chris Jenkins, Kalisha Johnson, Amanda Lindgren, Michael Matus, Kody Mortimer, Neïma Naouri, Mark Oxtoby, Aharon Rayner, Olivia Saunders, Sasha Shadid, Rumi Sutton and Riley Woodford complete the company.

Directed by Rufus Norris with a book by Tanya Ronder, Hex has music by Jim Fortune and lyrics by Rufus Norris, and is based on an original concept by Katrina Lindsay and Rufus Norris. The production has set and costumes by Katrina Lindsay, with choreography by Jade Hackett, music supervision and vocal arrangements by Marc Tritschler, orchestrations by Simon Hale, music direction by Tarek Merchant, lighting by Paul Anderson, sound by Simon Baker and video design by Ash J Woodward.
