Hex cast

The National Theatre have released studio recordings of three songs and confirmed full casting for its upcoming new musical Hex, a vividly original retelling of Sleeping Beauty that will run in the Olivier Theatre from 4 December 2021-22 January 2022.

Hex goes beyond the kiss that woke the Sleeping Beauty and tells the story from the fairy’s perspective as she tries everything in her power to make things right after placing the hex on the baby. The previously reported Rosalie Craig plays the fairy in this mythic, big-hearted new musical.

The cast is led by Tamsin Carroll as Queenie, Rosalie Craig as Fairy, Michael Elcock as Bert and Kat Ronney as Rose, alongside Christopher Akrill, Delroy Atkinson, Esme Bacalla-Hayes, Madeline Charlemagne, Ebony Clarke, Sonya Cullingford, Hanna Dimtsu, Tamsin Dowsett, Joe Foster, Ben Goffe, Eleanor Kane, Daisy Maywood, Kody Mortimer, Joseph Prouse, Shaq Taylor and Sargon Yelda.

Directed by Rufus Norris, the production features music by Jim Fortune, a book by Tanya Ronder, lyrics by Rufus Norris, design by Katrina Lindsay, choreography by Jade Hackett, orchestrations by Simon Hale, musical supervision by Marc Tritschler, musical direction by Tarek Merchant, lighting by Paul Anderson, choreography by Jade Hackett, consultant choreography by Bill Deamer, sound by Simon Baker and video by Ash Woodward.

The three songs released today are ‘Probly’ sung by Rosalie Craig (Fairy), ‘Sixteen’ sung by Kat Ronney (Rose) and ‘In the Middle’ sung by Craig and Tamsin Carroll (Queenie).

Songs From Hex - The Studio Sessions will be released by Broadway Records and available on all major digital music retailers from today.
