Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer to join Christmas Carol Goes Wrong for two-week spell

Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer will join the West End cast of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong for two weeks in January 2027.

The original Mischief company members will reprise their roles as Robert and Dennis at Wyndham’s Theatre from 14 to 23 January, following a run in the US. An extra matinee has been added for Wednesday 20 January. The production runs at Wyndham’s Theatre from 18 December 2026 to 23 January 2027.

The West End cast includes James Akka as Dennis until 13 January, Sayer as Dennis from 14 to 23 January, Adam Elliott as Chris, Dave Hearn as Max until 23 January, Matthew Howell as Robert until 13 January, Lewis as Robert from 14 to 23 January, Jay Olpin as Max from 26 January, Luke Pierre as Jonathan, Aein Nasseri as Trevor, Dumile Sibanda as Annie and Ashley Tucker as Sandra. The understudies are Billie Hamer, Robert Lane, Claire Lee Shenfield, Jamie Sandersfield and Josh Patel-Foster.

Written by Lewis, Sayer and Henry Shields, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong follows the Cornley Amateur Drama Society as they attempt to stage Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. It does not go to plan.

The show premiered at the Apollo Theatre last year, playing to sold-out houses. Matt DiCarlo directs, with a creative team comprising set designer Libby Todd, costume designer Roberto Surace, lighting designer David Howe, and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite.

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is produced in the West End by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence.
