Ambassador Theatre Group, Gavin Kalin Productions, Glass Half Full Productions and Rupert Gavin, in association with Hampstead Theatre, have announced that the critically-acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre production of CAROLINE, OR CHANGE will transfer to London’s Playhouse Theatre from 20 November 2018 to 9 February 2019.
Winner of the 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, the West End transfer of Tony Kushner‘s playful and deeply moving musical, set to a soaring score from Jeanine Tesori, will again be directed by Michael Longhurst, and see star Sharon D. Clarke reprise her virtuoso central performance as Caroline Thibodeaux.

It’s a fantastical, magical place amidst the piles of laundry and singing washing machines, especially for eight-year-old Noah Gellman who sneaks downstairs to see her whenever he can.
Yet a simple gesture to leave more money in Caroline’s pocket is about to test who and how far the winds of change can ever really reach…
