Producer Colin Ingram has announced the latest additions to the West End cast of The Time Traveller’s Wife: The Musical.

The world premiere production, first seen in previews in Chester last autumn, is based on the best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger and the New Line Cinema film screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin. It tells the story of how Clare, a sculptor, and Henry, a time traveller, meet, fall in love, and marry – but not in that order.

The show is set to open at the Apollo Theatre in London on November 1, 2023, with previews beginning on October 7, 2023.

It features 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 Time Traveller’s Wife is directed by Bill Buckhurst and designed by Anna Fleischle, with choreography by Shelley Maxwell, lighting design by Rory Beaton and Lucy Carter, illusions by Chris Fisher, video design by Andrzej Goulding, sound design by Richard Brooker, sound FX design by Pete Malkin, musical supervision and arrangement by Nick Finlow, orchestrations by Malcolm Edmonstone, and wigs, hair, and make-up design by Susanna Peretz.

Tim Mahendran (Spring Awakening, & Juliet) will play the role of Gomez, Hiba Elchikhe (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Aladdin) will play Charisse, and Ross Dawes (Newsies, Girl from the North Country) will play Henry’s Dad. They will be joining David Hunter and Joanna Woodward, who were previously announced as the leads Henry and Clare, respectively.

The musical is produced by Colin Ingram, InTheatre Productions, Gavin Kalin Productions, Teresa Tsai, Crossroads Live, by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. Further casting is to be announced.
