Further casting announced for THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE: THE MUSICAL in the West End

Further casting has been announced for the West End cast of The Time Traveller’s Wife: The Musical, which begins performances at the Apollo Theatre on 7 October.

Joining the previously announced David Hunter as Henry and Joanna Woodward as Clare will be Tim Mahendran (The Horne Section, Channel 4) as Gomez, Hiba Elchikhe (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End & LA) as Charisse and Ross Dawes (Newsies, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre) as Henry’s Dad. Further casting is to be announced.

With a book by Lauren Gunderson, original music and lyrics by Joss Stone and Dave Stewart, additional music by Nick Finlow and additional lyrics by Kait Kerrigan, the production will be directed by Bill Buckhurst.  As with David Hunter and Joanna Woodward, Tim Mahendran, Hiba Elchikhe and Ross Dawes will be reprising the roles they played in Chester in October 2022.

Henry and Clare’s relationship is like no other.  And yet, it’s like all others.  Clare is a talented sculptor and Henry is - well - a time traveller.  They meet, fall in love, and marry – but not in that order.  Flung apart by time but united by love, Henry is always trying to get back to Clare. Their journey is one of resilience, impossibilities and trying to hold on to each other when everything is pulling you apart.

The Time Traveller's Wife: The Musical is a joyous, uplifting celebration of the strange wonder of love, however and whenever we experience it.  The musical weaves a heart-breaking and soaring original musical score by multi Grammy Award-winning composers Joss Stone and Dave Stewart with one of the most beloved novels of the last 50 years.  All couples ask how to truly know one another, to trust, to commit, to build a family, to work at something bigger than ourselves.  Not all of us are time travellers.  How do you love across time?

The production is designed by Anna Fleischle, with choreography by Shelley Maxwell, lighting by Lucy Carter and Rory Beaton, illusions by Chris Fisher, video design by Andrzej Goulding, sound by Richard Brooker, sound FX design by Pete Malkin, musical supervision & arrangement by Nick Finlow, orchestrations by Malcolm Edmonstone, and casting by Grindrod Burton Casting.
