Kerry Ellis and David Hunter lead the cast of If/Then, which will have its UK premiere at the Savoy Theatre in February.
This is the first time UK audiences will have the chance to experience Tony Award-winning writers Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal)’s celebrated musical – presented in a staged concert format.
If/Then follows Elizabeth, a 38-year-old city planner returning to New York after 12 years, ready to rebuild her life in the wake of a recent divorce. Standing at a pivotal crossroads, Elizabeth faces a choice that will send her down two parallel paths, each leading to a radically different future. On her first day back, she reconnects with Lucas, an old friend, and meets Kate, her vibrant new neighbour. Lucas invites her to join him in the world of activism, while Kate
offers a lighter diversion—coffee, music, and the temptation of a charismatic guitarist nearby.
As the story unfolds, audiences follow Elizabeth’s journey along these parallel lives, exploring how every decision, no matter how small, shapes the course of destiny.
Hunter plays Lucas, with Ellis as Elizabeth, a woman torn between two possible journeys. Joining them are Preeya Kalidas as Kate, Tim Howar as Stephen and Jenny Fitzpatrick as Anne. Carl Man plays David and Joni Ayton-Kent is Elena.
The ensemble features Christian Maynard and Kayleigh Thadani, as well as Lauren Hall and Sario Solomon.
The production will be directed by Bill Buckhurst (101 Dalmatians The Musical, Sister Act). The musical staging is by Alistair David (Kiss Me, Kate), with music direction by acclaimed Michael England (The Phantom of the Opera, Les
Misérables).
If/Then comes to London on Monday, February 10 after opening on Broadway in 2014 and is produced by Adam Blanshay Productions and Daniel Hinchliffe in association with The Savoy Theatre.
