The hit production, following a UK tour and 6 month run in the West End, will return to Leeds as next year’s festive stage production from Mon 18 Nov 2024 – Sat 25 Jan 2025.
James Brining, Artistic Director of Leeds Playhouse, said: “This is an outstanding achievement for the Playhouse and a credit to everyone who made this spectacular show come to life. As we celebrate this season with our festive production Oliver! we look forward to welcoming you back next year as we head through the wardrobe and back into the magical world of Narnia.”
Based on Lewis’ iconic classic children’s book about a group of children that find their way through a wardrobe into a magical kingdom, the show is directed by Michael Fentiman, based on an original production by Sally Cookson which was created here at Leeds Playhouse.
Director, Michael Fentiman, said: “It’s an honour to be bringing our production of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe to Leeds Playhouse. Having trained in West Yorkshire (Bretton Hall), Leeds Playhouse was my local theatre for many years. I am hugely excited that our production will be gracing a stage that holds many fond memories of iconic productions from the past. We can’t wait to invite Leeds audiences through the Wardrobe!”
Step through the wardrobe into the kingdom of Narnia for the most mystical of adventures in a faraway land.
Join Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter as they wave goodbye to wartime Britain and say hello to Mr Tumnus, the talking Faun; Aslan, the unforgettable Lion and the coldest, cruellest White Witch!
