Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s If/Then has revealed more names joining the one-night-only concert next Feburary.

Originally premiering on Broadway in 2014, If/Then explores the impact of choices and chance through the story of Elizabeth, a 38-year-old city planner returning to New York after a divorce. Her story branches into two parallel paths, each showing how a single decision can shape an entirely different future.

Kerry Ellis will star as Elizabeth in the West End concert, which is now primed to be staged on 10 February at the Savoy Theatre.

It was announced today that she will be joined by David Hunter as Lucas, Preeya Kalidas (Everybody’s Talking about Jamie) as Kate, Jenny Fitzpatrick (Oliver!) as Anne, Tim Howar (The Phantom of the Opera) as Stephen, Carl Man (Wicked) as David, and Joni Ayton-Kent (The Watch) as Elena.

Direction is by Bill Buckhurst (Sister ActThe Time Traveller’s Wife), with musical staging by Olivier Award nominee Alistair David (Kiss Me, KateShow Boat), and music direction by Michael England (The Phantom of the OperaLes Misérables). The production has casting by Pearson Casting.

You can watch a special performance of “Always Starting Over” from the show below:

The video production team is composed of director Thom Southerland, musical supervisor Michael England, director of photography and editor Ben Hewis, production designer James Turner, lighting designer Aaron J Dootson, and sound designer Keegan Curran.

Tickets are available now.
