The Woman in White
Rising star Thom Southerland directs this critically acclaimed new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony and Olivier-Award nominated musical, The Woman in White for a strictly limited 12-week season.
 
A tempestuous tale of love, betrayal and greed, adapted from Wilkie Collins’ haunting Victorian thriller, this is the premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Zippel’s revised score.

Walter Hartright’s life is changed forever after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman, dressed in white, desperate to reveal her chilling secret. When he takes up his position as drawing master to the beautiful Laura Fairlie and her half-sister, Marian, he sees in Laura’s face an eerie reflection of the forlorn creature he met previously. Walter and Laura’s feelings for each other are thwarted by her engagement to the sinister Sir Percival Glyde. What is the connection between, Laura, Sir Percival, and the woman in white? Can true love prevail?

Thom Southerland’s staging although simple was incredibly effective...it’s a wonderful use of the small space of the Charing Cross theatre stage

The Reviews Hub ★★★★

"This is the first revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sweeping 2004 adaptation of Wilkie Collins’s Victorian classic, originally seen in the West End. Newly revised by Lloyd Webber and lyricist David Zippel, it’s both looking and, crucially, sounding very good"
