Producers Jamie Wilson Productions, Alchemation, and New Ventures Entertainment have announced the complete cast for the West End transfer of the Olivier Award-winning Bridge Theatre production of Into The Woods. Jordan Fein’s acclaimed staging will open at the Noël Coward Theatre on 7 October 2026, with previews beginning on 22 September 2026, and run through 9 January 2027.
The transfer marks the Bridge Theatre's first West End transfer and the first time Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s iconic musical has played in the West End since 1991.
Joining the company are Simbi Akande as Cinderella, John Dagleish as the Baker, Fiona Finsbury as Rapunzel, Lucas Koch as Rapunzel’s Prince, Laura Pitt-Pulford as the Baker’s Wife, Jack Quarton as the Steward, Keith Ramsay as Jack, Matthew Seadon-Young as Cinderella’s Prince and the Wolf, and Michael S. Siegel as the Narrator.
They join returning cast members Kate Fleetwood as the Witch, Valda Aviks as Grandmother and the Giant, Geoffrey Aymer as Cinderella’s Father, Jennifer Hepburn as Cinderella’s Stepmother and Alternate Witch, Hana Ichijo as Lucinda, Julie Jupp as Jack’s Mother, Gabrielle Lewis-Dodson as Florinda, and Gracie McGonigal as Little Red Ridinghood. Standbys include Hollie Aires, Sabrina Aloueche, Jacob Fowler, Adam Robert Lewis, Sophie Linder-Lee, Toby Turpin, and Elsie Watson.
The production premiered at the Bridge Theatre late last year, going on to win Best Musical Revival and Best Lighting Design at the Olivier Awards, alongside Best Ensemble and Best Designer at the Critics’ Circle Awards. Producer Jamie Wilson expressed excitement over bringing the production to the Noël Coward Theatre following overwhelmingly positive public response.
The creative team includes director Jordan Fein, set and costume designer Tom Scutt, musical supervisor Mark Aspinall, lighting designer Aideen Malone, sound designer Adam Fisher, and orchestrator Jonathan Tunick. Combining famous fairy tales into an exploration of what happens beyond "happily ever after," the classic musical returns to the West End thirty-five years after its original London debut.
