Mischief have announced the West End cast of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, which sails into the West End for 7½ weeks only at the Lyric Theatre from 23 November 2023 –14 January 2024, before continuing to tour the UK.
Returning to the West End following successful runs on Broadway and in Los Angeles are Matthew Cavendish (Groan Ups, UK tour) as Max, Harry Kershaw (Good Luck, Studio, Mercury Theatre) as Chris, Chris Leask (The Comedy about a Bank Robbery, West End) as Trevor, Ellie Morris (Spike, Watermill/UK tour) as Lucy, Charlie Russell (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End/UK tour/Broadway) as Sandra, Greg Tannahill (Good Luck, Studio, Mercury Theatre) as Jonathan, and Nancy Zamit (Magic Goes Wrong, West End) as Annie from 23 Nov – 17 Dec & 11 – 14 Jan.
They are joined by the current UK touring cast: Jamie Birkett (Mamma Mia! The Party, O2) as Annie from 19 Dec – 10 Jan, Clark Devlin (Goodnight Mr Tom, West End) as Dennis, Matthew Howell (The Play That Goes Wrong, West End/UK tour) as Robert, and Jean-Luke Worrell (A Strange Loop, West End) as Francis. The company is completed by Romeo Mika (professional stage debut), Clare Noy (Fish Eye, Omnibus Theatre), Consuela Rolle (Remember, Remember, The Other Palace), and Phil Yarrow (Crackers, Polka Theatre).
Co-penned by Mischief’s award-winning writing trio, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton inspired slapstick, delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring. The play sees the ‘Cornley Drama Society’ back on stage battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes as they attempt to present J.M. Barrie’s much-loved tale. But will they ever make it to Neverland?
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is directed by Adam Meggido, with set design by Simon Scullion, costumes by Roberto Surace, lighting by Matt Haskins, sound by Ella Wahlström, original music by Rob Falconer and Richard Baker.
