Who is starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story West End cast right now?
2:22 A Ghost Story is back in the West End right now, but who will you be seeing?
Cheryl, Stephanie Beatriz, Tom Felton – you wouldn't normally see those names grouped together. Except on the cast list for 2:22 A Ghost Story, that is.
This spooky stage show first hit the London theatre scene in 2021, and has quickly become known for drawing in big (and unexpected) celebrity stars.
Written by award-winning playwright Danny Robins, the show follows Jenny and Sam, a young couple who recently moved into a new London home with their baby, but when Jenny starts to hear a disturbance every night – at 2:22am exactly – she starts to worry something else might be living in their home.
With just four actors on stage, this is a play that relies almost entirely on the talent of its cast, which is why knowing the latest line-up is so important. So who is in 2:22 A Ghost Story right now?
The play is back in London this summer for just 10 weeks, so below you'll find everything you need to know about cast, location, length and how to get tickets. Plus, a full list of who has previously starred.
